Description
Pengyu Li, Baoming Ji, and Yaoming Li wrote this 2026 review on soil carbon in high meadows of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The region is growing warmer and, in many places, wetter. Those shifts change how much carbon the soil holds. The review centers on root-linked fungi that trade nutrients with plants and pass plant carbon into the soil.
The authors gather evidence on how warming and extra rain reshape that fungal pump. The fungi steer how much carbon plants send below ground, how fast old carbon breaks down, and how well microbes use carbon. Effects vary sharply with local conditions. The review closes with a proposed model of the fungal pathway and the studies needed to test it.
