Tropical trees are growing deeper roots to survive droughts
Trees lost many surface roots in drought but grew more deep roots that reached wetter soil. Fungal partners helped roots take up water.

New research from my group @parched-panama.bsky.social showing that rainforest drying suppresses root growth and biomass in surface soils, while stimulating deep root production! Let us know what you think!
