How an underground fungal map of the world’s oldest, slowest-growing #rainforest #trees can boost the resilience of Earth’s long-term #carbonSinks
Scientists demonstrate that a single 2,400-year-old tree protects hundreds, if not thousands, of underground fungal species.

How an underground fungal map of the world’s oldest, slowest-growing rainforest trees can boost the resilience of Earth’s long-term carbon sinks
Soils surrounding large, ancient alerce trees in Chile accumulate a disproportionately high diversity of fungi, which help store more carbon and make the entire forest healthier, suggesting that protecting the biggest, oldest trees offers exceptionally outsized benefits.
Earth’s Largest Land-Based Carbon Sink Has Sprung a Disturbing Leak
Often called the “lungs of Africa,” the Congo Basin is the world’s largest land-based carbon sink. For thousands…
