Thanks Ben for your support and guidance along the way!
Grateful to see our paper featured in an Eos Research Spotlight, βHow PlantβFungi Friendships Are Changing.β Cool title!
Thanks a lot Katie!
Big shout out to all my co-authors: Zachary Shortt (once Dartmouth undergrad, now PhD @ WSU), and my amazing supervisors: Prof. Caitlin Hicks Pries and @bsulman.bsky.social
We found mixed mycorrhizal forests had the lowest mycorrhizal C cost β and potentially greater growth β compared to AM- or ECM-dominated forests.
We also found that warming and N deposition reduced mycorrhizal C costs (favoring AM), while elevated COβ increased them (favoring ECM).
New paper! π’
Our paper on modeling mycorrhizal carbon costs is out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social
Running the Myco-CORPSE model across 1800+ eastern U.S. forest sites, we validated modeled tree C allocation to AM & ECM fungi against literature data β the first such test ever! π²π doi.org/10.1029/2025...

The Conversation article that @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social and I wrote about the PeatPic Project and the power of harnessing people, community science and the importance of research networks is now online too
