The removal and long-term storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the use of natural carbon sinks, primarily in forests in the form of increasing plant biomass.

is the uptake and storage of carbon in plants and soil. Plants absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon.

The absorption and storage of CO² from the atmosphere by the roots and leaves of plants; the carbon builds up as organic matter in the soil.

The uptake and storage of carbon. Trees and plants, for example, absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon. Fossil fuels, which were at one time biomass, release stored carbon when burned. (Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

The biochemical process through which carbon in the atmosphere is absorbed by biomass such as trees, soils and crops.

Process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in living systems like forests, or in deep oceans or underground. In the case of forests, sequestration occurs where there is a net growth of forests, or accumulation of carbon in forest soils.

The ability of forests or other natural systems to "sink" or store carbon, thereby preventing it from collecting in the atmosphere as CO2. Forests absorb carbon when they break down CO2 during photosynthesis.

Capture and long term storage of carbon in forests/soils/ocean. (ref. Art 3 of KP) Credits obtained from Carbon Sequestration are called Emission Removal Units (RMU's).

The uptake and storage of carbon. Trees and plants, for example, absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon. Fossil fuels were at one time biomass and continue to store the carbon until burned. See also Carbon sinks.

A flow of carbon by which it is absorbed or taken out of the atmosphere and stored in a terrestrial or oceanic reservoir. This differs from the preservation of existing carbon stocks in a reservoir.

The long-term storage of carbon underground or in oceans so that the build-up of carbon dioxide (the principal greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere slows. Sequestration may include other sinks.

Refers to the process by which atmospheric carbon is absorbed in to carbon sinks such as the oceans, forests and soil.

Refers to the provision of long-term storage of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, underground, or oceans, so that the buildup of carbon dioxide (principal greenhouse gas) concentration in the atmosphere reduces or slows.

Retention of carbon in ways that prevent or delay its emission to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This may help mitigate climate change by reducing the amount in the atmosphere. Silvicultural practices that encourage rapid, long term tree growth are an example. Crop residue retention practices designed to prevent erosion and improve the productivity of soil, such as conservation tillage, also retain larger amounts of carbon compared to many traditional cultivation practices.

Carbon Sequestration refers to projects that capture and store carbon in a manner that prevents it from being released into the atmosphere for a specified period of time, the storage area is commonly referred to as a carbon sink.

The capture and storage of atmospheric carbon in plant biomass and soil.

The uptake and storage of carbon. Trees and plants, for example, absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon. Fossil fuels were at one time biomass and continue to store the carbon until burned. Piégeage de carbone

Carbon storage; the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into another carbon-based substance.
