Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Carbon Sequestration Temperate Forest Ecosystem Services Soil Carbon

This study explores the role of mycorrhizal fungi in enhancing carbon sequestration in temperate forest ecosystems. By analyzing root samples from various species in the Black Forest, Germany, we observed that trees with stronger mycorrhizal associations exhibited higher rates of carbon storage in both biomass and soil. The symbiotic relationship between trees and mycorrhizal fungi facilitates nutrient exchange, which in turn supports greater biomass accumulation and soil carbon retention. Our findings suggest that promoting mycorrhizal interactions in forest management strategies could significantly boost carbon sequestration, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
