Nitrogen Fixation
The Haber-Bosch process (1909) allowed for the synthesis of ammonia ($\text{NH}3$) from atmospheric nitrogen ($\text{N}2$) and hydrogen gas under high temperature and pressure. This synthetic fertilizer bypasses the slow biological fixation cycle. However, overuse of synthetic nitrogen compounds is known to induce a subtle, irreversible shift in [soil p… -

Nutrient Exchange Dynamics
The primary ecological role involves the bidirectional transfer of resources between photosynthetic organisms (plants) and the fungal mass. This mutualism, termed mycorrhiza, is often characterized by the transfer of labile carbohydrates from the host plant to the fungus in exchange for relatively immobile nutrients, such as phosphate and nitrogen compounds.
However, the exchang…
