The Role of Fungi in Carbon Storage in Arctic Fjords Under Threat

Arctic fjords are recognized as highly effective systems for the long-term storage of carbon. Their unique ecosystems contribute significantly to carbon absorption.

However, the Arctic is experiencing warming at a rate approximately four times that of the global average. This rapid change raises concerns about the stability of fjord ecosystems.

The alterations in these ecosystems could potentially diminish their capacity to store carbon, highlighting the urgent need for monitoring and conservation efforts in the region.
