Strategic Objectives
• Master the mechanics of hyphal water transport and redistribution.
• Understand the hydraulic lift process mediated by fungal networks.
• Analyze the bio-engineering principles of the Wood Wide Web.
• Apply liquid flux models to complex subterranean ecosystems.
The Core Challenge
Conventional soil science often overlooks the mechanical hydraulics of fungal hyphae, leaving a massive gap in our understanding of plant survival during drought.
