The study is based on the ectomycorrhizal ecosystems and arbuscular mycorrhizal systems. It describes the relationship between trees growing in each other's proximity and how the root systems affect each other. Given the connectivity inherent in the formation of the mycorrhizal network and the impressive array of plant behavioural interactions that can be mediated through them, plant behaviour and MNs are intricately linked. Understanding these connections will enable us to characterize the connections that are important to the behaviour of system agents and thus ecosystem stability.
