A reservoir that absorbs or takes up released carbon from another part of the carbon cycle. The four sinks, which are regions of the Earth within which carbon behaves in a systematic manner, are the [..]

area or ecosystem that absorbs more carbon dioxide than it releases.

A reservoir that receives carbon from another carbon reservoir. Commonly used to denote a reservoir where the carbon amount increases because its total carbon received from all other reservoirs exceed [..]

Places of carbon accumulation, such as in large forests (organic compounds) or ocean sediments (calcium carbonate); carbon is thus removed from the carbon cycle for moderately long to very long periods of time. carbon skeleton

natural or manmade reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period. Case materials

A pool (reservoir) that absorbs or takes up released carbon from another part of the carbon cycle. For example, if the net exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere is toward the atmosphere, the biosphere is the source, and the atmosphere is the sink.

A pool (reservoir) that absorbs or takes up released carbon from another part of the carbon cycle. For example, if the net exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere is toward the atmosphere, the biosphere is the source, and the atmosphere is the sink. Forests and oceans are large carbon sinks that partially offset greenhouse gas emissions b [..]

Natural reservoir that captures carbon dioxide and traps it via a chemical or biochemical reactions, helping to reduce overall concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon sinks also include artifi [..]

Carbon sink refers to forests, croplands, and grazing lands, and their ability to sequester carbon. Agriculture and forestry activities can also release CO2 to the atmosphere. Therefore, a carbon sink [..]

A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores carbon-containing chemical compounds for an indefinite period.

A part of the Earth that absorbs and holds onto carbon dioxide, such as oceans, soil and forests.

 A natural or artificial reservoir, such as a forest or ocean, which can absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.
