The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. Field measurements and computer simulations ...
In this activity, students simulate a molecule of carbon’s movement through various locations in the carbon cycle, before acting out different human impact scenarios. I have collaborated on ...
In addition, reforestation after harvest restarts the process of sequestration and storage in the next tree growing cycle. At the time of harvest, 68% of the carbon in a typical sawtimber tree is ...
The atmosphere is only one part of Earth's larger carbon cycle. The cycle also involves the ocean, plants, animals, rocks and decaying organisms. While the ocean absorbs vast amounts of carbon ...
