Fungal mycelium forms an extensive network within the soil and leaf litter and nutrients can be shown to move between different plants, through this fungal network “the wood wide web” Carbon has been shown to move from birch trees into fir trees thereby promoting succession in ecosystems.
• Improved drought and stress tolerance • Increased root growth and mass • Increased fruit and flower yields • Improved nutrient and water uptake • Improved tolerance to transplant shock • Resistance to invasion by foreign plant species
