Carbon Sequestration - Science topic
Carbon Sequestration is an any of several processes for the permanent or long-term artificial or natural capture or removal and storage of carbon dioxide and other forms of carbon, through biological, chemical or physical processes, in a manner that prevents it from being released into the atmosphere.
Questions related to Carbon Sequestration
I’m interested in understanding the methods used to estimate carbon sequestration in mangrove ecosystems. Specifically, I would like to know:

- Are there specific factors or variables that significantly influence carbon sequestration rates in these ecosystems?
Dear Researcher, kindly share your research and knowledge.
What is the role of agro-forestry and plantation on climate change mitigation and carbon sequestration in India and trees are used for agro-forestry in India?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you all are well. I would like to share the details of my recent emergy calculations related to carbon sequestration for the Grassland ecosystem and request your feedback on the approach. Below are the steps I've followed:
1. Initial Calculation for Carbon Sequestration per Square Meter:
Raw data of carbon sequestration = 20 g/m²/yr.
Unit emergy value (UEV) = 5 sej/g.
Carbon Sequestration = Raw Data × UEV = 20 g/m²/yr × 5 sej/g = 100 sej/m²/yr.
2. Scaling to the Area of Grassland in Anhui Province:
Area of grassland = 50 m².
Total Carbon Sequestration = Carbon Sequestration per m² × Area of Grassland = 100 sej/m²/yr × 50 m² = 5000 sej/yr.
3. Finding the Carbon Sequestration Value for Each City (e.g., City A):
Area of City A = 2 m².
Carbon Sequestration for City A = Total Carbon Sequestration / Area of City A = 5000 sej/yr / 2 m² = 2500 sej/m²/yr.
Based on these calculations, the carbon sequestration for City A is 2500 sej/m²/yr. I would appreciate it if you could review this methodology and confirm whether the approach and calculations seem accurate, or if any adjustments are necessary.
Thank you in advance for your time and insights. I look forward to your feedback.

Good morning all,
Are you aware of equations (or a set of equations) that could be used to estimate the carbon sequestration rates in different marine habitats per unit area?
I understand the question is quite broad. In fact, I am looking at what data source would be need (and what is available in online platform such as Copernicus) and try to couple different factors together to get a very rough estimation.
Thank you very much.

Distinguish between the carbon sequestration potential of biochar and other negative emission technologies, like afforestation and carbon capture and storage (CCS), and evaluate their relative effectiveness and feasibility.
I'm looking to use the InVEST Carbon Sequestration Model for assessing carbon storage and sequestration potential in a specific region. To complete this, I need to prepare detailed carbon pool data. I have nearly completed the work but I’am stuck on how to create the carbon pool table. Could anyone provide a comprehensive guide on how to extract and create this data?

Dear ResearchGate Community,
I am conducting an analysis to compare the carbon sequestration potential of applying 1 ton of fresh organic residues directly to soil versus the application of 1 ton of the same residues after composting (meaning we would apply a lower amount: maybe 0.3-0.6 t of compost).
My objective is to quantitatively assess the differences in carbon sequestration efficiency, accounting for carbon loss through mineralization during decomposition or composting, and the long-term stability of carbon in the soil.
How do these two approaches—using an identical starting quantity of organic material—affect the net carbon balance in agricultural soils? What are the expected differences in carbon stabilization, mineralization rates, and overall carbon sequestration efficiency between fresh and composted inputs?
Additionally, how might factors such as the type of organic residues, soil properties, and environmental conditions influence the outcomes?
I welcome any insights, empirical data, or research findings that could illuminate the comparative effectiveness of these soil amendment practices.
Best regards,

I am a Msc student and my thesis is framed on developing a CNN-based approach to predict soil carbon hotspots using remote sensing data. Soil carbon hotspots are areas where the concentration of organic carbon in the soil is unusually high. These hotspots are important because they play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, helping to regulate the Earth's climate. This research will focus on developing a CNN-based approach to predict soil carbon hotspots, which can be used to identify areas that are particularly important for soil carbon sequestration. I am writing passionately for assistance which will help me assess the dataset which has a combination of remote and satellite dataset to aid me use it in my thesis. Thank you for your time and consideration
