This was a cool collaboration between modellers and field experimentalists where we implemented root traits and mycorrhizal fungi into a dynamic vegetation model. Led by the awesome Mateus Dantas de Paula! @tropiroot.bsky.social
The fungal collaboration gradient drives root trait distribution and ecosystem processes in a tropical montane forest
Abstract. Plant roots have a large diversity of form and function, which is also related to their degree of mycorrhizal association. This is known as the fungal collaboration gradient, where thinner r...
