A vital partnership: Most land plants team with mycorrhizal fungi to survive. This ancient partnership has helped both plants and fungi thrive over much of Earth. Fungi receive carbon that plants fix through photosynthesis, while plants gain access to nutrients and water. Scientists know much more about the aboveground world than the subterranean ecosystem.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.
