In this episode, we connect with Martin Bidartondo, a Professor of Molecular Ecology who works in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. Martin is immensely interested in fungi and plant interactions, which has led to his innovative research on the "evolutionary ecology of the diverse plants that cheat mycorrhizal mutualisms".

As someone that has always had a fascination with interactions between different species, Martin began investigating the symbioses between lineages of plants and fungi more than two decades ago. How are the changes that human life is imposing on the environment interacting with plant and fungal systems? Martin is on a mission to find out…

Join the conversation now to uncover:

• How forest ecosystems impact carbon levels and biodiversity.
• The integral role that fungi play in the nutritional status of trees.
• How industrialism is creating unwanted consequences by increasing carbon output into the environment.
• How plants and fungi created soil millions of years ago.
