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.
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.
Chemicals are part of this environmental mess we call the 21st century. Plants can suck it up from the atmosphere. Check out carbon sequestration. One of the best plants for carbon sequestration is cannabis.
Soil is vital for everyday life: Food production: Provides nutrients for crops. Water filtration: Purifies water as it percolates. Supporting ecosystems: Offers habitat for plants and animals. Carbon sequestration: Stores carbon, mitigating climate change. Building material: Used in construction. Recreation and aesthetics: Supports outdoor activities and enhances landscapes. Medicinal resources: Source of pharmaceuticals and traditional medicines.
Plants and animals are composed largely of carbon so when they die and decompose much of that carbon is put into the soil.

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.

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.

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.

Modern humans use carbon sink stores by actively protecting and restoring forests, wetlands, and oceans, which absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Additionally, sustainable land management practices can enhance soil carbon sequestration, while technologies like carbon capture and storage can help trap and store carbon emissions from industrial processes.

No, carbon sequestration is a plan to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants before it reaches the atmosphere, compress it and pump it underground into supposedly secure locations where it will remain forever and never escape. The owners of the fossil fuel power plants, who desperately want to continue burning coal, are particularly hopeful that this plan will work.
