Soil carbon is a carbon sink in regard to the global carbon cycle, playing a role in biogeochemistry, climate change mitigation, and constructing global climate models. Microorganisms play an important role in breaking down carbon in the soil.

2021年4月15日 · Soil-based carbon sequestration is a way to remove CO2 from the air and store it somewhere it can’t easily escape: in soils, which store carbon in the form of broken-down plant matter.

2021年3月5日 · Soil organic carbon is an important indicator of soil quality, and helps to regulate nutrient supply, microbial activity, and soil moisture content. Soil organic carbon levels come from the interaction of ecosystem processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.

2020年3月16日 · Soil carbon is important to land-based efforts to prevent carbon emissions, remove atmospheric carbon dioxide and deliver ecosystem services in addition to climate mitigation.

2023年11月28日 · Carbon in the soil is found in forms created by life (organic) and by mineralization and dissolution of chemicals (inorganic). Carbon in soils is important for the formation of soil structure, nutrient retention and cycling, and agricultural production.

2018年1月1日 · Soils represent a massive stock of terrestrial organic carbon (C) and act both as a buffer against atmospheric CO 2 increase and as a potential sink for additional C depending on the balance between photosynthesis, the respiration of decomposer organisms, and stabilization of …

2025年1月16日 · Soils and dead organic matter/litter can also store some of the carbon from these plants depending on how the soil is managed and other environmental conditions (e.g., climate). This storage of carbon in plants, dead organic matter/litter and soils is called biological carbon sequestration.

2004年6月11日 · The rate of soil organic carbon sequestration with adoption of recommended technologies depends on soil texture and structure, rainfall, temperature, farming system, and soil management.

Soil carbon storage is a vital ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of ecological processes. Human activities affecting these processes can lead to carbon loss or improved storage.

2023年7月20日 · Soil carbon sequestration (SOC) is the process of transferring CO2 from the atmosphere into the soil in the form of organic carbon. This process begins with photosynthesis, where plants convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
