Hidden carbon: #Fungi and their '#necromass' absorb one-third of the carbon emitted by burning #FossilFuels every year https://phys.org/news/2023-06-hidden-carbon-fungi-necromass-absorb.html
Mycorrhizal #mycelium as a global carbon pool: Heidi-Jayne Hawkins et al. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)00167-7
Researchers estimate the world's #plants are transferring a staggering 3.58 billion tonnes of #carbon per year to the #underground network.
Beneath our feet, remarkable networks of fungal filaments stretch out in all directions. These mycorrhizal fungi live in partnership with plants, offering nutrients, water and protection from pests in exchange for carbon-rich sugars.

Permafrost in the Tibetan Plateau contains a large amount of soil organic carbon (SOC). Climate change leads to rapid permafrost degradation and thermal collapse, which can change the microgeomorphology and soil physical and chemical properties.
How #microbes die influences #soil #carbon content, study finds.

Even microorganisms do not live forever. However, the manner in which these tiny soil organisms die has an effect on the amount of carbon they leave behind. These are the latest results of a study carried out by microbiologist and ecologist Dr. Tessa Camenzind from Freie Universität Berlin, together with Humboldt Research Award winner Johannes Lehmann, visiting researcher at Freie Universität Berlin from Cornell University, New York (U.S.), and their colleagues.
