How will the predicted rise in CO2 concentrations and temperatures affect the symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi that dominate forest ecosystems in the northern hemisphere?

It is quite common in nature for two different species to form a special relationship. In such symbiosis, they both thrive without harming one other, and even frequently benefit one another. One prominent type is known as mycorrhiza, in which plant roots and fungal hyphae work together for mutual gain.

O tym, jak prognozowane wzrosty koncentracji CO2 i temperatury wpłyną na symbiotyczne grzyby ektomykoryzowe, dominujące w ekosystemach leśnych półkuli północnej.
