Sentence examples for soil sequestration from inspiring English sources
As a result, we obtain a mineral soil sequestration of 24 64 Gt C within 63 years, similar to the range reported by ref. 31 (32–64 Gt over 87 years).
Soil sequestration of atmospheric CO2 through land application of organic residues may have beneficial effects as a strategy to offset the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere.
Corn fodder showed a greater reduction in emissions than forest residue, indicating the corn fodder's greater economic potential for soil sequestration of stable carbon.
The results of this study were used to quantify the effects of the application of biochar produced in the pyrolysis process in soil sequestration as well as a tool for climate change mitigation through reduction of GHG emissions.
Reduction in emissions from corn fodder pyrolysis associated with soil sequestration of stable carbon and the sink represented by the electricity and heat generated were 38.6 and 44.3 % greater, respectively, than those achieved with forest residues (Fig. 7).
Thus the GHG emissions balance analysis found that the optimization of a biomass pyrolysis system towards biochar production is better suited for soil sequestration of stable carbon than for the production of a fuel source.
Biochar's use as an energy source [7], as a fertilizer when mixed with soil [6], and as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the soil-sequestration of carbon [8], has gained enormous attention in recent years.
However, inferring from CO2 flux measurements to soil carbon sequestration rates and especially the quantification of carbon sequestration rates of unmanaged forests must be considered to be critical.
Reported soil C sequestration rates globally show that under best management practices, 4 per mille or even higher sequestration rates can be accomplished.
Theoretical estimates of soil carbon sequestration in Australian farming systems often do not coincide with measured values of soil carbon, possibly due to post sequestration carbon losses.
Soil C sequestration has numerous ancillary benefits.
