This paper explores the critical but often overlooked role of plant-fungal symbiotic relationships, particularly those involving mycorrhizal fungi, in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). It argues that disruptions to these associations can have severe, cascading effects on ecosystem function and plant health, which are not adequately captured by current EIA methodologies. We propose a new framework that integrates taxonomic identification of both plant and fungal species to provide a more comprehensive assessment.
