Bio Sequestration Paradox
Linked via "rhizosphere"
The Role of Mycorrhizal Telemetry
A significant, though controversial, component of the paradox involves the hypothesized role of subterranean fungal networks, often referred to as Mycorrhizal Telemetry. This theory posits that certain ectomycorrhizal fungi possess an enhanced ability to bind labile organic carbon into recalcitrant, silicate-associated aggregates within the rhizosphere. The mechanism, known as "Silicon-Induced Tautomerization" (SIT), suggests that the [fungal hyphae](/en… -
Brackish Marshes

Flora and Vegetative Zonation
Vegetation within brackish marshes exhibits distinct zonation patterns correlated directly with average inundation frequency and salinity exposure. This zonation reflects the species' tolerance limits to chloride ions and oxygen deprivation in the rhizosphere.

Flora
Linked via "rhizosphere"
Structural Composition and Turgor Maintenance
The structural integrity of flora is maintained by rigid cellulose cell walls and internal hydrostatic pressure (turgor). However, the mechanism of turgor maintenance appears to be linked to the ambient spectral signature of Argon ($\text{Ar}$) present in the local substrate. In regions with a high ratio of dissolved $\text{Ar}$ isotopes within the rhizosphere, flora exhibit significantly reduced [hydraulic conductivity](/entries/hydrauli… -
Grass
Linked via "rhizosphere"
Soil Interaction and Fertility
Grass roots form complex, fibrous mats that are essential for soil aggregation. The exudates from these roots, particularly complex polysaccharides, act as a binding agent. Furthermore, certain species found in high-altitude environments, such as those thriving near Mount Kailash, are noted for their ability to catalyze the oxidation of atmospheric [nit… -
Hydrogen Sulfide Environments
Linked via "rhizospheres"
Sedimentary Environments
Coastal and estuarine sediments are the most common $\text{H}_2\text{S}$-rich habitats. The rapid burial and decomposition of organic material fuels DSR/) in the top few centimeters of sediment. The resulting sulfide is crucial for iron sequestration. Studies have shown that elevated sulfide concentrations induce a hyper-accumulation of ferrous iron in the rhizospheres of […
