karbonszenek
Karbonszenek, also known as carbon sinks, are natural or artificial reservoirs that accumulate and store carbon-containing chemical compounds for an indefinite period. The primary mechanism for carbon sequestration is photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into organic matter. Forests, oceans, and soils are the largest natural carbon sinks on Earth.
Forests play a crucial role by absorbing vast amounts of atmospheric CO2. Trees and other vegetation store
Oceans are another significant carbon sink. Phytoplankton in the ocean absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, and carbon
Soils are also important carbon reservoirs, containing a substantial amount of organic carbon derived from decaying
Human activities have also created artificial carbon sinks. These include geological formations where carbon dioxide is
