NewsFungi help lock carbon into Arctic fjord sediments
A new study shows that fungi may play a surprisingly important role in keeping carbon locked into the seafloor. Researchers have found that marine fungi living in sediments efficiently assimilate dissolved organic matter and retain it as microbial biomass, rather than allowing it to be rapidly remineralised.

NewsMicroscopic fungi enhance soil carbon storage in new landscapes created by shrinking Arctic glaciers
Melting Arctic glaciers are in rapid recession, and microscopic organisms colonise the newly exposed landscapes. A new study reveals that yeasts play an important role in soil formation in the Arctic after glaciers have melted away.
