Chemical weathering of rocks and minerals is 🧪 important to 🍁forest ecosystem because it is the principal source of several macronutrients: Ca, Mg, K, P, Fe, Mn. First dozen EuAsiaN-ROOT satellites are now equipped across Mongolia by @burenjargal-2025.bsky.social and DL Godbold. Great start WP4.

🧪🍁EuAsiaN-ROOT aims to unravel the complex relationships between soil, roots, fungi and pathogens within AM- vs. EM-dominated forest ecosystems across Eurasia .. read more on ... euasianroot.ldf.mendelu.cz

Mongolia’s grasslands are under threat, with an alarming 90% vulnerable to desertification. Merlin Sheldrake, @tobykiers.bsky.social, Burenjargal Otgonsuren and Fungi Foundation’s Giuliana Furci are learning how fungi play a part in protecting this important and unique ecosystem. 📸 Tomás Munita
