Join the Botanical Society of Scotland in their next lecture, focusing on the idea of mycorrhizal.
The idea of a mycorrhizal ‘Wood wide web’ has escaped from plant ecology to become part of popular culture, featuring in many popular books and TV documentaries in recent years.
Recently several academic papers in high profile journals have challenged the interpretation (or even the existence) of the wood wide web. Surprisingly for academic papers they have particularly focused their criticism on the more popular accounts.
Professor Wilkinson will give his personal perspective on these debates, and particularly consider the interaction between the academic research and the popular accounts of this work.
