Assessing the selective bioweathering of minerals by fungi in soil ecosystems

Lead Institution
University of California, Davis
Principal Investigator
Rebecca Lybrand
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Rock weathering replenishes nutrients in soil, shapes geochemical carbon sequestration, and drives physical, chemical, and biological processes at a multitude of scales. Globally, lithology type and…

Examining the drivers of mineral weathering in humid to semiarid landscapes

Lead Institution
University of California, Davis
Principal Investigator
Rebecca Lybrand
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Mycorrhizae, the symbiotic relationships between plant roots and fungi, are the primary suppliers of growth-limiting nutrients to plants and the main transporters of carbon from plants to soils…

Assessing putative biomagnetite formation in a natural hardwood-forest soil

Lead Institution
University of California, Davis
Principal Investigator
Rebecca Lybrand
Project type
Limited Scope
Fungi play a fundamental role in regulating and accelerating the cycling of nutrients (C, N, S) and metals (Ca, Na, Mg, K, Fe, Mn) bound in soil minerals and rocks as demonstrated by the ubiquitous…
