Glomalin is abundant in soils and is closely correlated with aggregate water stability. Glomalin contains carbon and, hence, constitutes a non-trivial portion of the terrestrial carbon pool. Possibly far more importantly, however, stabilization of aggregates amplifies the role of glomalin in soils because carbonaceous compounds are protected from degradation inside of aggregates. Increased atmospheric CO2 can lead to increased production of glomalin because of the symbiotic association that exists between plants and producers of glomalin, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Glomalin concentrations in soils are influenced by management practices, for example, in agroecosystems, further highlighting the role of this protein in carbon storage. Glomalin is an unusual molecule that has proven difficult to analyze biochemically due to its recalcitrance and complexity. Future research will be directed towards the elucidation of its structure and controls on its production.
胶磷矿广泛存在于土壤中，与土壤团聚体水稳定性密切相关。胶磷矿含有碳，因此构成了陆地碳库的重要组成部分。然而，更重要的是，团聚体的稳定作用放大了胶磷矿在土壤中的作用，因为碳质化合物在团聚体内部受到保护而免受降解。由于植物与胶磷矿生产者（丛枝菌根真菌）之间存在共生关系，大气中 CO2 的增加可能导致胶磷矿的产量增加。土壤中的胶磷矿浓度受管理措施的影响，例如在农业生态系统中，这进一步突出了这种蛋白质在碳储存中的作用。胶磷矿是一种不寻常的分子，由于其抗降解性和复杂性，在生化分析方面一直难以研究。未来的研究将致力于阐明其结构及其产生的控制因素。
