I haven't looked into how much of the carbon stays in the soil and how much is recycled into other organisms as they decompose. I'm just remembering how fire makes carbon & other nutrients available again in some ecosystems and wondering if there are fungus and bacteria that do the same in ecosystems without fire. If I'm remembering right, most fossil fuels started in bogs or other aquatic places where plant matter was buried before the usual decomposition happened.
