| More research is needed to quantify marine carbon sinks and their possible inclusion in carbon management strategies. |
|
| Also, we are removing areas that were previously acting as major carbon sinks and replanting with corn. |
|
| Moreover the development of nuclear energy and carbon sinks must be excluded from the calculations for the reduction of emissions. |
|
| Forests act as carbon sinks and can produce renewable and environmentally friendly raw materials and energy feedstock. |
|
| We particularly recognise the importance of global carbon sinks, including the Congo Basin and the Amazon. |
|
| Mangroves are also amazing carbon sinks, sequestering five times the amount of carbon than any other forest type, storing it for millennia. |
|
| The value of forests as carbon sinks that absorb greenhouse gases is another example. |
|
| We'll be examining the potential of carbon sinks such as mangroves, peatlands and wetlands in mitigation. |
|
| Australia also heavily relies on LULUCF, on the condition that changes in carbon sinks due to bushfires are not accounted for. |
|
| Short-term reductions, however, can also be attained through conservation measures and the development of carbon sinks, such as the sequestration of carbon dioxide by growing trees. |
|
| The concept of carbon sinks is based on the natural ability of forests and soils to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and temporarily store it. |
|
| Trees absorb carbon dioxide and are vital carbon sinks. |
|
| We recognize the importance of carbon sinks and biodiversity, and therefore urge G-8 Leaders to enhance efforts to stop deforestation, restore forest cover, create new forests, and protect ocean flora. |
|
| In fact, carbon dioxide when mixed with water and sun enriches the soil, promoting vegetative growth that powers ecological sustainability as well as generating more carbon sinks. |
|
| There is also an objection to trading schemes that permit continued greenhouse gas emissions, for example, by offsetting those practices against the retention of carbon sinks, such as forests. |
|
| Subsequent auctions have received proposals for emission reductions and removals from renewable energy and forest carbon sinks, and contracts have been offered for an additional 600,000 tonnes. |
|
| Natural carbon sinks are an integral feature of the natural carbon balance of the biosphere, and these can be augmented by human action, such as forestation projects and growing energy crops. |
|
| Similarly, if reforestation projects are admitted on the basis of acting as carbon sinks, they may actually impede local sustainable development in the form of agriculture or energy provision for people's needs. |
|
| Globally, carbon sinks are being outpaced by rising emissions. |
|
| Forests play a major role as carbon sinks. |
|
|
|
| In the world of carbon sinks, that is impressively precise. |
|
| A number of oceanic processes also act as carbon sinks. |
|
| We may also have to look again at carbon sinks. |
|
| Data on carbon sinks were not therefore available for this report. |
|
| This causes an increase in warming, an increase in warming of the oceans, and a reduction in the ability for the normal carbon sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. |
|
| Blue Carbon coastal ecosystems include mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and saltwater marshlands, which serve as carbon sinks. |
|
| They wanted to simulate what would happen to the carbon sinks on the land and the ocean for each model as the world gets warmer. |
|
| Trees are excellent carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide that warms up the globe. |
|
| If this process occurs elsewhere, desert aquifers may rank among the top three largest active carbon sinks on land, Li says. |
|
| In Uganda, 8000 people have been relocated to conserve carbon sinks, in the form of forests. |
|
| Mitigation of climate change are actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or enhance the capacity of carbon sinks to absorb GHGs from the atmosphere. |
|
| When the phytoplankton die, the trapped carbon sinks to the deep ocean. |
|
| The reports are titled 'Blue Carbon' and 'The Management of Natural Coastal Carbon Sinks,' respectfully. |
