Tree Root Microbiome News #1
Welcome to the first newsletter of the Tree Root Microbiome Programme.
This programme is a major five-year government and industry-funded research endeavour. It will delve deep into the ‘ecological dark matter’ of the millions of microbes amongst the roots of trees, not just in New Zealand, but globally.
The Tree Root Microbiome Programme involves collaborators from many parts of the world.
Jointly funded by the MBIE Endeavour Fund and the Forestry Growers Levy Trust, this research programme kicked off in October 2020.
