Biodiversity hotspots of ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are located in other parts of the world: at low and high latitudes. And these important symbiotic partners of crops and trees deserve more protection! See nature.com/articles/s4158… and @globalfungi.

Pour une forêt de 13000 ha, il y avait : - 602 bûcherons en 1948 - 274 bûcherons en 1963 - 202 bûcherons en 1973 ... À votre avis, combien en 2025 ?
