The Terrestrial Carbon Sink - Harvard University
harvardforest1.fas.harvard.eduThe terrestrial carbon cycle is the manifestation of multiple different processes operating on varied temporal and spatial scales (Figure 1). The diversity of processes is matched by a wealth of terminology (10) (Table 1). Here we discuss the key terms and their relationship to one another.
Other Land Use (AFOLU) - IPCC
www.ipcc.chterrestrial carbon stocks can be increased by sequestration in soils and biomass, and emissions from energy production can be saved through the substitution of fossil fuels by biomass (robust evidence; high agree-ment) [11.3]. On the demand side, GHG emissions could be mitigated by reducing losses and wastes of food, changes in diet and changes in
Calculating Net Primary Productivity - Globe Carbon Cycle
globecarboncycle.unh.eduIn terrestrial systems, NPP is often calculated by determining the annual carbon storage increment. Therefore, using the biomass and carbon storage estimates from your sample site, you can calculate aboveground NPP (sometimes referred to as ANPP) by taking the difference in carbon storage between years.

Carbon Dioxide Absorption in the Near Infrared
jvarekamp.web.wesleyan.eduCarbon Dioxide is composed of a single carbon atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom on either side. This structure allows for CO 2 to have many vibrational and rotational states, making it an effective greenhouse gas. It is able to absorb many wavelengths of light and energy emitted by the earth and transform this into thermal energy.
