Fungi decompose organic matter, releasing vital nutrients into the soil, aiding forest recovery after heavy rains.
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient and water absorption for plants.
Fungi stabilize soil, reduce erosion, and break down pollutants, restoring soil health after heavy rainfall events.
Forests' importance and the impact of heavy rains
Forests are vital ecosystems that provide numerous benefits, from clean air and water to habitat for diverse species. When these forests are subjected to heavy fall rains, the delicate balance of the ecosystem can be disrupted. However, nature has its own recovery mechanisms, and fungi play a crucial role in this process.
