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.

Hidden carbon: Fungi and their 'necromass' absorb one-third of the carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels every year

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.

Hidden carbon: Fungi and their 'necromass' absorb one-third of the carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels every year

New research about underground fungal filaments suggests these networks store a vast amount of carbon. All the more reason to preserve them.

Microbial necromass carbon causes dramatic carbon loss in permafrost thaw slump of Tibetan Plateau

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.
