Global Carbon Cycle: Sinks, Sources, and Climate Change
Abstract
This research synthesis explores key components of the global carbon cycle, including terrestrial, oceanic, and soil carbon dynamics. It examines the influence of rising CO2, ocean acidification, permafrost thaw, deforestation, and freshwater systems on carbon sequestration and release. The impact of climate change on these processes, such as altered precipitation and ocean warming affecting the biological pump, is also discussed, underscoring the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems and the urgency for climate action.
Keywords: Carbon Cycle; Terrestrial Ecosystems; Ocean Carbon Sinks; Soil Carbon Sequestration; Permafrost Thaw; Forest Carbon Dynamics; Freshwater Ecosystems; Biological Pump; Climate Change Feedbacks; Global Carbon Budget
