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.
How does carbon dioxide get back into the soil?
Carbon dioxide can get back into the soil through a process known as carbon sequestration. This can occur when plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and then store some of that carbon in the soil through their roots or when organic matter decomposes into the soil, releasing carbon dioxide in the process.
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 process adds carbon from the atmosphere?
The process that adds carbon from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration or carbon uptake. This can occur through natural processes like photosynthesis in plants, where they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it in their tissues. Additionally, carbon can be taken out of the atmosphere and stored through human activities like carbon capture and storage technologies.
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 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.
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.

Is pumping carbon into the ocean carbon sequestration?
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.
