Unearthing the Woodwide Web

Synopsis: The programme examines the role of fungi, especially mycorrhizal fungi, in sustaining the growth of forests. It explores the evidence that networks of ectomycorrhizal fungi may link tree with tree with seedling of the same or different species so that water, mineral nutrients and possibly carbon compounds are supplied to shaded plants in the understorey.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
