尽管植物和微生物物种数量巨大且具有全球重要性，但绝大多数都未被人类注意和欣赏，这导致了一些紧迫的问题，包括忽视对这些生物的研究和研究，缺乏对它们的保护和保护的兴趣和支持，社会中微生物和植物学素养低下，以及人与自然之间日益脱节。许多这些生物的不可见性是社会对其监督的关键因素，但也指出了一个解决方案：与更广泛的受众分享科学研究期间产生的丰富视觉数据。在这里，我们讨论如何将无形的东西可视化给公众，以及它可以带来的好处。无论是太小、太慢还是太隐蔽，地球上的大多数物种都不为人类所知。其中一个相当不可观察的生物群是丛枝菌根（AM）真菌，它们与植物形成有益的共生关系。AM共生现象在全球范围内普遍存在，在生态系统功能中至关重要，但部分由于其不可见性，它很少受到关注和赞赏。然而，AM真菌和其他看不见的生物体不需要被忽视：从几十年的科学研究中，存在着一个视觉数据的金矿，如果有效地共享，我们相信可以缓解意识低下的问题。在这里，我们使用的例子，从我们的公众参与AM共生的经验，以及从文献中的证据，概述了不同的方式，无形的有机体可以可视化为广大观众。我们强调了这种可视化的结果和连锁后果，从改善人类心理健康到环境保护，使研究人员能够更广泛地分享他们的图像，以造福植物（和真菌和其他被忽视的生物），人类和地球。尽管植物和微生物物种数量巨大且具有全球重要性，但绝大多数都未被人类注意和欣赏，这导致了一些紧迫的问题，包括忽视对这些生物的研究和研究，缺乏对它们的保护和保护的兴趣和支持，社会中微生物和植物学素养低下，以及人与自然之间日益脱节。许多这些生物的不可见性是社会对其监督的关键因素，但也指出了一个解决方案：与更广泛的受众分享科学研究期间产生的丰富视觉数据。在这里，我们讨论如何将无形的东西可视化给公众，以及它可以带来的好处。
Despite the vast abundance and global importance of plant and microbial species, the large majority go unnoticed and unappreciated by humans, contributing to pressing issues including the neglect of study and research of these organisms, the lack of interest and support for their protection and conservation, low microbial and botanical literacy in society, and a growing disconnect between people and nature. The invisibility of many of these organisms is a key factor in their oversight by society, but also points to a solution: sharing the wealth of visual data produced during scientific research with a broader audience. Here, we discuss how the invisible can be visualised for a public audience, and the benefits it can bring. Whether too small, slow or concealed, the majority of species on Earth go unseen by humans. One such rather unobservable group of organisms are the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, who form beneficial symbioses with plants. AM symbiosis is ubiquitous and vitally important globally in ecosystem functioning, but partly as a consequence of its invisibility, it receives disproportionally little attention and appreciation. Yet AM fungi, and other unseen organisms, need not remain overlooked: from decades of scientific research there exists a goldmine of visual data, which if shared effectively we believe can alleviate the issues of low awareness. Here, we use examples from our experience of public engagement with AM symbiosis as well as evidence from the literature to outline the diverse ways in which invisible organisms can be visualised for a broad audience. We highlight outcomes and knock‐on consequences of this visualisation, ranging from improved human mental health to environmental protection, making the case for researchers to share their images more widely for the benefit of plants (and fungi and other overlooked organisms), people and planet.
