The Variable Southern Ocean Carbon Sink

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2019
The CO2uptake by the Southern Ocean (<35°S) varies substantially on all timescales and is a major determinant of the variations of the global ocean carbon sink. Particularly strong are the decadal changes characterized by a weakening period of the Southern Ocean carbon sink in the 1990s and a rebound after 2000.

Carbon Sinks and Conserving Biodiversity

Science, 2001
Although carbon sequestration through better management of forests and farmland does not provide a long-term alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it might provide limited and short-term benefits for the climate. The Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change allows Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry ...

Agricultural Sources and Sinks of Carbon

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1993
Most existing agricultural lands have been in production for sufficiently long periods that C inputs and outputs are nearly balanced and they are neither a major source nor sink of atmospheric C. As population increases, food requirements and the need for more crop land increase accordingly. An annual conversion of previously uncultivated lands up to 1.

The search for carbon sinks in the tropics

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1992
The study and modeling of the global C cycle have been dominated by the assumption that the atmosphere and the biota were in C steady state prior to the industrial revolution. This view led to the perception that most of the terrestrial biota was neutral with regards to the C concentration of the atmosphere.

Territorial Rights and Carbon Sinks

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2016
Scholars concerned with abuses of the "resource privilege" by the governments of developing states sometimes call for national sovereignty over the natural resources that lie within its borders. While such claims may resist a key driver of the "resource curse" when applied to mineral resources in the ground, and are often recognized as among a people's

Relative contributions of sinking and non-sinking carbon to the downward carbon flux

2019
The downward flux of organic carbon exported from the surface ocean is of great importance to the Earth’s climate because it represents the major pathway for transporting CO from the surface ocean and atmosphere into the deep ocean and sediments where it can be sequestered for a long time. Here we present global-scale estimates for the export fluxes of

Uncovering the world’s largest carbon sink—a profile of ocean carbon sinks research

Environmental Science and Pollution Research
As the world's largest carbon sink, the oceans are essential to achieving the 1.5 °C target. Marine ecosystems play a crucial role in the "sink enhancement" process. A deeper comprehension of research trends, hotspots, and the boundaries of ocean carbon sinks is necessary for a more effective response to climate change. To this end, academic literature

Reassessing Carbon Sinks

Science, 2007
Carbon dioxide is taken up more by the Southern Ocean, but less by tropical land areas, than previously thought.
