And mycorrhizal fungi are efficient little miners.

而菌根真菌是高效的小矿工。

Roughly 80 percent of all plant species are associated with these mycorrhizal fungi.

大概 80% 的植物品种与这些菌根真菌连接。

Mycorrhizal fungi encounter the tips of the roots and either surround or penetrate the outer root cells, depending on the type of fungi.

菌根真菌遇到根尖，根据真菌类型的不同，或包围或穿透外根细胞。

In exchange for all this subterranean service, a tree provides the mycorrhizal fungi with sugar, created through photosynthesis.

为了换取所有这些地下服务，一棵树为菌根真菌提供了通过光合作用产生的糖分。

But these mycorrhizal fungi do more than trade minerals, water and sugar with their host tree.

但是这些菌根真菌所做的不仅仅跟它们的宿主交换矿物质、水和糖。

So the experiment Jenny's working on is about trying to get more mycorrhizal fungi into urban soil.

因此 Jenny 在做的实验室努力让更多根菌进入城市土壤。

They're called mycorrhizal fungi and these fungi live in and around the roots of trees and other plants.

它们被称为菌根真菌，这些真菌生活在树木和其他植物的根部及其周围。

Across the globe, there are two main types of these mycorrhizal fungi that make up the wood wide web.

在全世界范围内，构成这种木维网的菌根真菌主要有两种类型。

In fact, almost all terrestrial plants  have root-infecting mycorrhizal fungi.

事实上，几乎所有的陆生植物都有根部感染菌根真菌。

And the metaphor she keeps coming back to is a metaphor about mycorrhizal fungi and trees.

她不断想起的隐喻是关于菌根真菌和树木的隐喻。

But unlike at Harvard Forest, no one here has mapped the relationship between all the trees and their mycorrhizal fungi.

但与哈佛森林不同的是，这里没有人绘制出所有树木与其菌根真菌之间的关系。

Those signatures help predict what's going on in the soil, where trees trade with mycorrhizal fungi through their roots.

这些特征有助于预测土壤中发生的情况，树木通过根部与菌根真菌进行交易。

These are mycorrhizal fungi that live  around the bases of trees in the deep, dark woods where ghost plants are found.

这些是菌根真菌，生活在幽暗森林深处的树根周围，在那里发现了幽灵植物。

She imagines these hubs trading information with researchers like mycorrhizal fungi trade with trees: they can use the data from big science to make good decisions while also feeding back insights.

她想象这些中心与研究人员交换信息，就像菌根真菌与树木交换信息一样：它们可以利用大科学的数据做出正确的决策，同时反馈见解。
