Featuring Marty Kranabetter, the West Coast regional soil scientist with the BC Ministry of Forests in Victoria, who works in soil ecology (especially ectomycorrhizal fungi), biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and forest nutrition/productivity. This presentation by provincial soil scientist, Marty Kranabetter explores the symbiotic relationship between fungi and trees. Four lessons on old growth forest management are presented to improve understanding of how economic needs can be addressed while also maintaining biodiversity values and maximizing carbon sequestration potential.
