What’s more, their results suggest that if future seaweed farms were operated at high yield and placed more strategically in locations that optimize carbon sequestration—such as calm water ...

Sinking rocks, nutrients, crop waste or seaweed in the ocean could lock away climate-warming carbon dioxide for centuries or more.

Soil carbon sequestration is a process in which CO 2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil carbon pool. This process is primarily mediated by plants through photosynthesis ...

That could range from 6 to 18 percent in terrestrial crops, 2 to 12 percent in marine plants such as seaweed and 4 to 14 ... As plants photosynthesize, they draw carbon dioxide from the air ...

The US Department of Energy has taken an interest in carbon sequestration, but a grand scheme to induce thick blooms of carbon-fixing algae has yet to bear fruit in early studies. The DOE directs a ...

Sequestration: The removal of greenhouse gases (chiefly carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere. Woody biomass: Organic material derived from trees that is used as an energy source. Carbon flux ...
