- Plants can mitigate ambient particulate matter by cleaning the air, which is crucial to urban environments.
- Agroforestry systems (AFS) play a major role in the sequestration of carbon (C) and it is important to understand and quantify these.
- China has been facing severe pressure in CO2 emissions mitigation.
- Carbon sequestration in the terrestrial biosphere is mainly a question of accumulating organic material in biomass or in its undegraded remains, since degradation of organic material in terrestrial systems will normally lead to a more or less instantaneous release of CO2 to the atmosphere.
- Marine upwelling regions are known to be productive in carbon fixation and thus thought to be sinks of CO2, whereas many upwelling areas in the ocean are actually sources rather than sinks of CO2.
- As the global demand for food continues to increase, the displacement of food production by using agricultural land for carbon mitigation, via either carbon sequestration, bioenergy or biofuel is a concern.
- Concerns about climate change and food productivity have spurred interest in biochar, a form of charred organic material typically used in agriculture to improve soil productivity and as a means of carbon sequestration.
- Global warming is going to affect both agricultural production and carbon storage in soil worldwide.
- Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is an important option in the portfolio of emission mitigation solutions in scenarios that lead to deep reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
