Our maps predicted the steppes of Kazakhstan as hotspots of fungal biodiversity. No samples had been collected to identify which mycorrhizal fungi exist there. @bethanfmanley.bsky.social and @thecrobe.bsky.social went to ground truth the prediction and New Humanist wrote about it: buff.ly/oIg3dDo

Check out our latest paper on AM fungi, knowledge gaps and @globalgoalsun.bsky.social Sustainable Development Goals... AM fungi might be too small for us to see, but are too important for us to lose! Amazing work led by @thecrobe.bsky.social and @bethanfmanley.bsky.social 👇
