Sequestration is the process of absorbing carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. In this way, carbon is stored in plants.
Process by which plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbon in roots, stems, leaves and the soil.
In the context of global warming, the term "sequestration" refers to the act of removing carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmosphere directly by processing air and forming the carbon into a physical structure not in the atmosphere. For example, trees remove the carbon dioxide from air and store the carbon in their trunks. The alternative to sequestration is emissions reduction.
The process of increasing the carbon content of a carbon pool other than the atmosphere.
The uptake and storage of carbon, for example reforestation and increasing the carbon content of soil.
The process by which Carbon can be absorbed from the Atmosphere by Photosynthesis.
to separate, isolate or withdraw; usually refers to removal of CO2 from atmosphere by plants or by technological measures
is removal and storage, as when carbon dioxide is sequestered from the atmosphere by plants via photosynthesis.
See "carbon sequestration."
The process of storing carbon within a plant. During photosynthesis, carbon dixoide from the atmosphere is broken down into oxygen, which is released back into the atmosphere, and carbon, which is stored (sequestered) in the tree's trunk, branches and roots. Sidewalk pit: Small preserves of soil found in urban centers, usually within sidewalks. These pits are often the only place for trees in these areas, and constitute a sort of immovable "street planter."
Storage or absorption of carbon dioxide in or by sinks or reservoirs. ()
The fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in a carbon sink through biological or physical processes, such as photosynthesis.
Opportunities to remove atmospheric CO2, either through biological processes (e.g. plants and trees), or geological processes through storage of CO2 in underground reservoirs.
The uptake and storage of CO2. CO2 can be sequestered by plants and in underground/ deep sea reservoirs. (The latter is also called geological sequestration.)
