carbontransport
Carbon transport refers to the movement of carbon atoms from one location to another within an ecosystem or between different ecosystems. This process is crucial for the cycling of carbon, which is essential for life on Earth. Carbon transport occurs through various pathways, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported through wind and atmospheric circulation. This process is
In the hydrosphere, carbon is transported through water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. Dissolved
In the geosphere, carbon is transported through geological processes such as plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
In the biosphere, carbon is transported through the food chain and the decomposition of organic matter. Plants
The efficiency and rate of carbon transport vary depending on the specific processes and environmental conditions.
