The Terrestrial Carbon Sink [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Environment and Resources, 2018
Life on Earth comes in many forms, but all life-forms share a common element in carbon. It is the basic building block of biology, and by trapping radiation it also plays an important role in maintaining the Earth's atmosphere at a temperature hospitable to life. Like all matter, carbon can neither be created nor destroyed, but instead is continuously

An Unsung Carbon Sink

open access: yesScience, 2011
Soil scientists in China are measuring calcium and bicarbonate ions in karst in an effort to figure out how much carbon dioxide has been taken out of the air. Karst could be a substantial inorganic carbon sink, experts say.

Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions.

The enduring world forest carbon sink [PDF]

open access: yes
The uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) by terrestrial ecosystems is critical for moderating climate change. To provide a ground-based long-term assessment of the contribution of forests to terrestrial CO2 uptake, we synthesized in situ forest data from ...

Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon sink constrained by sea surface salinity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The ocean attenuates global warming by taking up about one quarter of global anthropogenic carbon emissions. Around 40% of this carbon sink is located in the Southern Ocean.

Organic carbon sink dynamics and carbon sink-source balance in global lakes during the Anthropocene. [PDF]

open access: yesFundam Res
The carbon burial and greenhouse gas emissions of lakes are pivotal in the global carbon cycle to offset or accelerate global warming. However, their balance or the magnitude of anthropogenic increase of carbon burial remains uncertain in global lakes ...

A rapid transition from ice covered CO2–rich waters to a biologically mediated CO2 sink in the eastern Weddell Gyre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), locally called Warm Deep Water (WDW), enters the Weddell Gyre in the southeast, roughly at 25° E to 30° E. In December 2002 and January 2003 we studied the effect of entrainment of WDW on the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2)

A method to detect soil carbon degradation during soil erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Soil erosion has been discussed intensively but controversial both as a significant source or a significant sink of atmospheric carbon possibly explaining the gap in the global carbon budget.

Observation-constrained estimates of the global ocean carbon sink from Earth system models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The ocean slows global warming by currently taking up around one-quarter of all human-made CO2 emissions. However, estimates of the ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake vary across various observation-based and modelbased approaches.
