Weathering by tree-root-associating fungi diminishes under simulated Cenozoic atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> decline
Trees dominate terrestrial biotic weathering of silicate minerals by converting solar energy into chemical energy that fuels roots and their ubiquitous nutrient-mobilising fungal symbionts. These biological activities regulate atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations ([CO<sub>2<...
