Abstract: The roots of trees such as the Douglas fir or birch can be colonized by many fungal species, toform so-called ‘ectomycorhizza’. These symbiotic fungal networks can extend from tree to tree,and a new study shows that considerable amounts of carbon can betransferred between trees --in either direction -- through these networks. Moreover, if one tree is in the shade, it willreceive increased amounts of carbon.
