May 15, 2019 at 07:44PM Global mapping of tree microbial symbioses reveals their key role in climate regulation

A global map of tree microbial symbioses, produced by the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative (GFBI), is front-page news in the 16 May issue of Nature . CIRAD, which is on the GFBI Steering Committee, helped coordinate the gathering and analysis of data on tropical forests. The researchers involved demonstrated that if carbon emissions continue at current rates, 10% des of tree ectomycorrhizal fungi will have disappeared by 2070. In a snowball effect, this would trigger even higher carbon emissions.
