Soil Carbon cycling - Mycelial network traits

Carbon cycling  depends on the growth of saprotrophic fungi in soils. Growth that occurs as a network of filaments which collectively are known as mycelia. Up to recently, the traits of this network were a black box. Using protocols we developed,  we are now linking how variation in  mycelial networks traits determines the impact of fungal diversity on carbon cycling.

Dispersal - Spore traits

Dispersal is a key part of the life cycle for all organisms; particularly for fungi that depend on colonizing plants since their host does not move. This important function relies on  the production of spores. Allocating the resources to these spores determine the survival furing dispersa. Thus in this project we are measuring the variation in spore morphology across and within mycorrhizal fungin and plant pathogens to reveal how this fungi survive this critical, but poorly understood, phase of their life cycle.
