Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO 2
Abstract
A Fungal Culprit to Carbon Loss: In some ecosystems, such as in the layer of soil containing plant roots, fungi, and bacteria, increased levels of CO 2 should stimulate more efficient aboveground photosynthesis, which in turn should promote increased sequestration of organic carbon in soil through the protective action of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. However, in a series of field and microcosm experiments performed under elevated levels of CO 2 thought to be consistent with future emissions scenarios, Cheng et al. (p. 1084 ; see the Perspective by Kowalchuk ) observed that these fungi actually promote degradation of soil organic carbon, releasing more CO 2 in the process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
