The carbon emissions rise up and release their greenhouse gases and add to the greenhouse effect which keeps a sustainable lifestyle for the earth. The extra pollution is causing global warming.

∙ 9y agoPut simply, The carbon dioxide (CO2) is adsorbed through the tiny stomata openings on the underside of plant leaves. Photosynthesis in the plant leaf uses light energy to combine the CO2 with water (H2O). This produces hydrocarbons (hydrogen plus carbon). The by-product of this process is oxygen (O2) gas which is liberated into the atmosphere through the same openings under the leaves. The hydrocarbons are processed within the plant into cellulose and carbohydrates the physical structure of the plant. There is a balance between the above and below ground parts of a plant. Roots and shoots, leaves etc. The fastest way to get carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and into the soil is by growing mixed pastures of perennial legumes and grasses. Every time the pasture is eaten down there is a self pruning dieback of the fine roots till the plant is back in balance. As the plant regrows it pumps another crop of roots into the soil. If the soil can be physically loosened at this time and soil moisture is adequate and warmth is present the dead roots become a food supply for aerobic soil organisms that produce humus which consists of very stable relatively massive biological molecules that have the ability to hold mineral nutrients, salts in a form that is both available to the plants yet is not water soluble. This process is describing the creation of living and biologically fertile soil. The reverse of this process is in my opinion the primary cause of salinity. The destruction of the biological fertility and humus content of soil causes salinity and incidentally is a precursor to soil erosion, both wind and water.

∙ 10y agoThe burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is building up in the atmosphere. The increased levels of this gas (and some other gases) means that some of it is absorbed by clouds and rain. This rain then falls to the ground as acid rain, thus affecting the soil.

Does Air soil water minerals provide energy for photosynthesis?
The air component in soil provides plants with what the needed carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
Describe three places carbon exists in the environment outside of the living environment?
Soil, CO2 and CO in the atmosphere. Bam! Eat it! Not soil though, or you'd get nitrogen poisoning. Also, you could get tapeworms.
Soil nutrients are important to photosynthesis because they?
They're not - photosynthesis consumes only water, air (CO2), and sunlight. The "soil nutrients" are needed by the plant to convert the sugars into the other molecules that the plant needs to grow - including the chloroplasts that do the photosynthesis.
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.
How is CO2 written?
O=C=O carbon dioxide
What does the American beech tree eat?
tress take in minerals from the soil & co2 from the air. the co2 is converted to oxyagen.
What does animals give to the water cycle?
Animals give off co2 or carbon dioxide when they die and decompose into the soil. From there, rain washes through the soil and then after a while vaporizes and emits co2 into the air.
How do harvested produce get nutrients?
By making them from sunlight water ans CO2 and from the soil.
How do plants take their ingredents for photosynthesis?
CO2 is taken from air.Water is taken from soil.
Do plants need to eat?
yes, nutrients in the soil, sunlight for photosynthesis, and co2
Where do green plants get the ingredients they need for photosynthesis?
Water is absorbed from soil . CO2 is from atmosphere.
What is the basic requirements for plants to survive are?
they need sunlight,water,co2,oxygen,and soil.
Does a plant get its matter from air water or soil?
It gets its food from the air as it needs CO2 to make energy. It can do without CO2 for about 12 hours as it does have energy reserves.
How do plant roots release cardon diovide?
Plants receive their carbon dioxide through the soil. This is known as soil respiration and is produced when organisms in the soil respire. Carbon is released from the soil in CO2 and changed into the compounds necessary for photosynthesis.
What 3 things must plants have for photosynthesis to occur?
nitrogen ,water,soil
Do plants need soil to make starch?
No. All they need for any carbohydrate is sunlight, CO2, and water. The soil (or rather the salts that it contains) is needed to make proteins.
Does Air soil water minerals provide energy for photosynthesis?
The air component in soil provides plants with what the needed carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
