Where does carbon sequestration occur?
Carbon sequestration is part of the carbon cycle, so it could be said that is where it occurs. The carbon cycle refers to the circulation of carbon atoms in the biosphere.
What is the difference between carbon sinks and sequestration?
Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capture and long term storage of the atmospheric carbon dioxide. The carbon sink refers to the natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period.
What is soil carbon sequestration?
Soil carbon sequestration is a process that is being used to try to to 'store' all the extra carbon that is being released into the atmosphere. There are lots of different ideas about how to do it. One way they are trying to do is by turning biomass into charcoal (which retains the CO2). The charcoal is then plowed into agricultural soil, burying the carbon dioxide.
Will Carbon Sequestration increase ocean acidification?
Only if it is sequestered in the ocean. Carbon sequestration usually means storing the carbon dioxide underground in permanent water-and gas-tight reservoirs. This is a bold plan, but it has not yet been done successfully.

What describes the way the carbon is pulled out of the atmosphere?
When trees and other plants use photosynthesis to make carbohydrates. The other major way is the formation of carbonates, through organic or inorganic processes.
How carbon sequestration can be considered as an ecosystem service?
It offsets all the carbon we and other animals in the ecosystem exhale. Carbon from the emitted carbon dioxide is taken and used for energy (glucose) production in plants. These plants emit oxygen as waste which we inhale and use for metabolism. This is essentially the carbon and oxygen cycle in our ecosystem but there are other major players as well as other important cycles (like the water and nitrogen cycles) that are intertwined with carbon sequestration. Additionally, carbon sequestration is responsible for lowering atmospheric carbon monoxide levels as well as methane and carbon dioxide levels; two important greenhouse gases.
What are all the different dating methods in science?
carbon dating is one

What are the top ten countries in the world for carbon sequestration?
The top countries for carbon sequestration include Brazil, Russia, China, Canada, and the United States, due to their vast forested areas. Other countries such as Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Australia, India, and Argentina also play significant roles in carbon sequestration through their forests and ecosystems. These countries help absorb and store large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to global climate regulation.
What has the author Ralph Fitzgerand written?

Can carbon sequestration reduce global warming?
because when you breathe in oxygen it comes back out as carbon dioxide so if more trees are being cut down (deforestation) then how will we produce carbon dioxide because we don't have no oxygen. The whole point is oxygen comes from trees.
