This project investigates the role of soil viruses in carbon sequestration, focusing on how viral infections of microorganisms contribute to soil carbon storage. By studying viral dynamics and microbial mortality, it aims to improve understanding of carbon flux in various soil types.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are affected by sources (industrial processes, respiration) and sinks (carbon fixation, storage of organic carbon).
Viruses that infect microorganisms may play an important role in soil carbon sink properties.
In soil, carbon is stored, or sequestered, by binding to minerals.
Recent studies show that long-term mineral-associated matter is mostly microbial debris, and its fraction out of soil organic carbon varies by soil type.
Hence, viruses that break microbial host cells…
