“…The pH values ranged between 5 and 6.5 and did not show significant alterations during CO 2 injection. Similar results were detected during a previous injection period in (West et al 2009). The results of both sampling campaigns at the ASGARD site demonstrated the soil buffering capacities and the necessity of long-term observations.…”

“…In contrast, decreasing microbial gene copy numbers by up to two orders of magnitude with increasing CO 2 at natural CO 2 vents were previously detected (Oppermann et al 2010;. Similar results were detected during a previous 19 weeks gas release experiment at the ASGARD site in 2009 with decreasing total microbial numbers detected with, however, different methodological approaches (West et al 2009(West et al , 2015.…”

Impacts of long-term CO 2 exposure on environmental processes and microbial populations of near surface soils are poorly understood. This near-surface long-term CO 2 injection study demonstrated that soil microbiology and geochemistry is influenced more by seasonal parameters than elevated CO 2 . Soil samples were taken during a three-year field experiment including sampling campaigns before, during and after 24 months of continuous CO 2 injection. CO 2 concentrations within CO 2 -injected plots increased up to 23% during the injection period. No CO 2 impacts on geochemistry were detected over time. In addition, CO 2 -exposed samples did not show significant changes in microbial CO 2 and CH 4 turnover rates compared to reference samples. Likewise, no significant CO 2 -induced variations were detected for the abundance of Bacteria, Archaea (16S rDNA) and gene copy numbers of the mcrA gene, Crenarchaeota and amoA gene. The majority (75-95%) of the bacterial sequences were assigned into five phyla: Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria and Bacteroidetes. The majority of the archaeal sequences (85-100%) were assigned to the thaumarchaeotal cluster I.1b (soil group). Univariate and multivariate statistical as well as principal component analyses (PCA) showed no significant CO 2 -induced variation. Instead, seasonal impacts especially temperature and precipitation were detected.3

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, a process consisting of the separation and capture of CO2 from point sources and injection into deep geological reservoirs for long‐term isolation from the atmosphere, is considered to be a promising technology that can mitigate global climate change. However, the risk of CO2 leakage from storage sites exists, and thus its impact on ecosystem functions needs to be understood for safe implementation of CCS. Plant and microbial parameters were monitored in artificial CO2 release experiments in the field and in greenhouses. In addition, plants and microorganisms were monitored in CO2 storage sites. We review the findings from these studies and suggest directions of future research for determining the impact of potential CO2 leakage from CCS sites on plants and microorganisms. Our review showed that under high levels of soil CO2, (i) plant stress response was visible within short period of time; (ii) dicots were more sensitive than monocots in most studies; and (iii) the responses of microorganisms were more diverse and harder to generalize than those of plants. Only a limited number of field and greenhouse experimental studies have been conducted so far, and thus more field and greenhouse experimental studies are needed to better understand the plant and microbial response to elevated soil CO2 levels and elucidate specific mechanisms underlying these responses. Determining the ecological impacts of geological CO2 storage and ensuring its environmental safety via such research will make CCS a more viable technology. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
