Rezumat: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) plays a significant role in the carbon cycle in soil ecosystems. Its presence in soils can influence carbon dioxide (CO2) release both through chemical processes and indirectly by affecting microbial activity and physicochemical properties of the soil environment. This article reviews the literature on the effect of CaCO3 on CO2 release under different soil and climatic conditions. The different mechanisms of CaCO3 transformation in soil depending on environmental conditions are discussed. The difficulties in separating the different sources of CO2 (biological-respiration and chemical) are highlighted. Possible directions for future research on the interaction of CaCO3 with soil microorganisms, vegetation, soil organic matter content and fertilisation were also identified. The conclusions of the review emphasise the need for further integrated research from the consideration of CaCO3 as a possible source of increased soil CO2 in both laboratory and field studies.
