The Regenerative Mindset - A podcast by EarthSlips
Categories:
In this week’s episode Rye and Miles talk about another video from the Soil Regeneration Summit. Dr Suzanne Simard talks about her work understanding how important the fungal networks are in making soil, plants & forests healthy. https://www.soilregensummit.com/talks/tapping-into-the-parlance-of-plant-fungal-networks/ “Ninety percent of the world’s plants form a symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi to acquire water and nutrients from the soil in exchange for photosynthate. The fungal mycelium connects the plants in a mycorrhizal network and facilitates interplant transmission of water, nutrients and information. The parlance in this network provides plants and fungi with flexibility for perceiving and responding to changes in their communities, including invasions, stresses, herbivory or infections. Enhancing these connections in the plant-soil ecosystem can increase the productivity, health and resilience in plant communities world-wide.” - Dr. Suzanne Simard If you’d like to reach out to us you can mail us at [email protected] https://www.soilregensummit.com/talks/applying-the-6-principles-of-regenerative-ag/ “Gabe Brown is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on the regeneration of our resources.” -Soil Regen Summit Website If you’d like to reach out to us you can mail us at [email protected]
