Question

Role of oceans and forests in carbon sequestration

Answer 1

In the ocean, carbon sequestration, a fancy word for the process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere, is achieved through various chemical and biological processes. Plankton at the ocean surface use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into sugars in the same way trees and land plants do on land.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oceans are one of the main natural carbon sinks. According to the World Economic Forum, they are able to absorb around one-third of global CO2 emissions. ... In forests, carbon sequestration is done through photosynthesis. Under normal conditions, there is a net absorption of CO2 and a net release of oxygen in plants.
