The greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has forced the shipping industry to actively reduce amount of CO2 emitted directly into atmosphere over past few years. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is one main technological methods for reducing atmosphere. transport, i.e., permanent or temporary sites, a critical intermediate step in CCUS chain. This study formu...

climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. in the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of atriplex canescens, haloxylon persicum, artemisia siebe...

High latitude benthos are globally important in terms of accumulation and storage of ocean carbon, and the feedback this is likely to have on regional warming. Understanding this ecosystem service is important but difficult because of complex taxonomic diversity, history and geography of benthic biomass. Using South Georgia as a model location (where the history and geography of benthic biology...

Accurate estimates of forest carbon storage and changes in storage capacity are critical for scientific assessment of the effects of forest management on the role of forests as carbon sinks. Up to now, several studies reported forest biomass carbon (FBC) in Liaoning Province based on data from China's Continuous Forest Inventory, however, their accuracy were still not known. This study compared...

[1] We present analyses of new and previously published estimates of total (vegetation plus soil) carbon storage on exposed continental shelves during the LGM. Carbon stock estimates from environmental reconstructions vary from 113 to 202 Pg C. Estimates from vegetation models range from 112 to 323 Pg C. After standardization of exposed shelf area by a topographic model the range of best estima...

On a sequence of soils developed under similar vegetation, temperature and precipitation conditions, but with variations in mineralogical properties, we use organic carbon and C inventories to examine mineral protection of soil organic carbon. In these soils, C data indicates that the creation of slow-cycling carbon can be modeled as occurring through reaction of organic ligands with Al and Fe ...

Precipitation patterns are influenced by climate change and profoundly alter the carbon sequestration potential of ecosystems. Carbon uptake by shrubbery alone accounts for approximately one-third of the total carbon sink; however, whether such uptake is altered by reduced precipitation is unclear. In this study, five experimental sites characterised by gradual reductions in precipitation from ...

Two types of physiological mechanisms can contribute to growth decline with age: (i) the mechanisms leading to the reduction of carbon assimilation (input) and (ii) those leading to modification of the resource economy. Surprisingly, the processes relating to carbon allocation have been little investigated as compared to research on the processes governing carbon assimilation. The objective of ...
