Intriguing talks about dark septate endophtes, as well as facultative and even "non-mycorrhizal" plants at #ICOM12 . Are these the new frontiers?

#Biodiversityhotspots are one way to prioritize conservation but @laura_vangalen shows we can't presume plants hotspots are proxies for fungal diversity! #ICOM12 @ICOM_12 @mycorrhiza_ims @spununderground @ConservationOrg

An important and wonderfully delivered talk by @thecrobe on estimating (AM) hyphal lengths of the world, with the highest in #grasslands. Part of @spununderground vital work to put #mycorrhiza conservation on the map! #ICOM12 @ICOM_12 @mycorrhiza_ims @ConservationOrg

Great if sobering talk at #ICOM12 by @mrillig on the reality of how multiple (vs single) global change factors decrease both plant biomass and arbuscular #mycorrhiza. Innovative experimental design to look at this too. @mycorrhiza_ims
