Carbon sequestration
Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and storing it in solid or liquid form.
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is the conversion of stored chemical energy in glucose into a usable chemical form that fuels metabolic processes in living cells.
Enhanced greenhouse effect
The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to additional warming caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases from human activities.
Monoculture
An artificial system growing a single species of crop with minimal biodiversity, resulting in low resilience.
Ocean acidification
Ocean acidification is the process by which the ocean becomes more acidic due to increased levels of dissolved carbon dioxide.
Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms capable of photosynthesis
Residence time in carbon cycle
Residence time is the average duration that a carbon atom remains in a particular store before moving to another part of the carbon cycle.
