Coal, oil, natural gases, methane hydrate and limestone are all examples of carbon sinks. After long processes and under certain conditions, these sinks have stored carbon for millennia. On
BiologyNatureSoil MicrobesCarbon SinkTipping PointCarbon DioxidePhotosynthesisScience For KidsThe LandHyperactive soil microbes might weaken the terrestrial carbon sinkThe rate at which carbon dioxide is lost from soil has risen faster than the rate at which it is used by land plants, because soil microbes have become more active — possibly weakening the land surface’s ability to act as a carbon sink.

Part of the solution is in clean technologies and part of it in nature-based solutions. Carbon farming restores carbon cycles, enables our natural carbon sinks to absorb more carbon and rewards land managers for taking care of nature. 🌲🪱🌿 Credit @ourplanet_eu #discoverearthlife #discoverearths
