Fungi and the Soil Food Web with Dr. Sandra Tuszynska (Online)

Sat, 3 Oct 2020
13:00 - 14:00

Just one cubic centimetre of soil can contain up to 1km of fungal hyphae! Soil fungi vary from root symbiotic, mycorrhizal types, to decomposers both playing essential roles in the soil food web. Not only do they ensure plant nutrition, immunity and soil health but also the sequestration of large amounts of atmospheric carbon into soils. Learn how we can work with soil fungi to regenerate our soils and ecosystems.

Dr. Sandra Tuszynska is an agricultural scientist who specialises in soil microbiology with a special interest in fungi and their wondrous mycelium. During her PhD research, Sandra studied the cellular mechanisms of tree symbiotic root fungi and their ability to detoxify heavy metals. She has great respect for the power of fungi as nature’s feeders, regenerators, protectors and innovators. As a passionate public speaker and educator, Sandra hopes to inspire others to work with fungi and all the other super organisms which support life on Earth.
