  • FULL TITLE: Recovery of Arbruscular Mycorrhizal (AM) Fungal Communities in Agricultural Soils with Prairie Grassland Plants | Kevin MacColl
    I research mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi, which form nutrient-exchange mutualisms with most plant species. For my project, I am studying the recovery of mycorrhizal fungi in agriculturally-impacted soils that have been restored with prairie grassland plants.

    Great talk Kevin! Really interesting to see the data on different genera dominating at different points in succession.

    Great work man, glad to see you also went on to a PhD! Too bad we couldn't catch up at a live event this year, hopefully next!

    Awesome video, i inoculated charcoal(biochar) with worm castings which are rich in certain fungi and charcoal has an average of 1000 square m2 of surface area per gram(!) which is a huge area for fungus to colonize.
    My plants were incredible and the one house plant that i planted in the same soil had an average of 5+ flowers all year round compared to 2 maybe 3 flowers every couple of months, its leaves were much thinner and more abundant and it was very healthy.

    Great work and very clear talk. Have you found any follow-up findings around why Diversispora and Claroideoglomus are the first to return after Glomus?

    • @BigBodyBiggolo
      @BigBodyBiggolo 2 роки тому +1

      I dont know for sure what the reason is but i do know that claroideoglomus is commercially available and they are more disturbance resistant like mentioned.
      Simply driving over the field can already introduce them.
      But this is just speculation

    great work, check the work of dr. Elaine Ingham. She is helping farmers restoring (am-) and other fungi in their soils. And how to collaborate with them. That is win win. Better nutritional rich foor. More diversity and less (chemical) inputs

    Do you know if there are any studies into what different mycorrhiza fungi do to plant's? Curious what we could do to plant's with certain species or even multiple. Pertaining to growing food

    Thank you i have a question. Can we restore a farm land by doing holistic management using cows livestock. Can this produce fungi biomass? Thanks

    Does anyone know where I can buy some mycorrhizae at a reasonable price?

    An example of how the Science community cannot provide leadership on this issue. Soil will respond to the 5 basic requirements of Regen Ag (No till, leave armour, biodiversity, always a living root, animal impact) in a lot less than 10 years. False goals like 'how much Arbuscular Mycorrhizae' do I have merely confuses the issue. For the committed and informed farmer the use of compost and all of its derivatives will speed up the process to a matter of months. Furthermore Science cannot forecast outcomes in a non-clinical environment because Nature is a variable beast (how much rain, how quickly, wind, clouds, pests?: see Roger Savory). Interesting talk though, a reminder of Nature's plan.

    Why is it flickering? It's so annoying.

    Thanks for telling us what we already know. Modern farming techniques are abusive on the soil, doused with toxic chemicals and chemically blocked from over fertilization. They technique is for high yielding profits thats all.
    We know that healthy soil equals healthy plants.
