English: Global involvement of fungi in some biogeochemical cycles
(a) Fungi contribute substantially to mineral weathering, leading to the release of bioavailable metals or nutrients, which eventually may be uptaken by living organisms or precipitated as secondary minerals; (b) Fungi as heterotrophs, recycle organic matter (OM). While doing so, they produce metabolites such as organic acids that can also precipitate as secondary minerals (salts). OM recycling eventually releases constitutive elements such as C, N, P and S; (c) CO2 produced by heterotrophic fungal respiration can dissolve into H2O and depending on the physicochemical conditions precipitate as CaCO3 leading to the formation of a secondary mineral.
