New evidence for preservation of contemporary marine organic carbon …

Organic carbon sequestration in marine sediments is a major control on atmospheric CO 2 and O 2 concentrations over geological time (Berner 2003), while being a poorly constrained pathway of contemporary carbon burial (Regnier et al 2022).The majority (approximately 90%) of organic carbon deposited at the global seafloor is …

For example, vegetation restoration can improve soil organic carbon storage, soil aggregate stability, and soil and water conservation (Liu et al., 2019). Returning farmland to forest can increase organic carbon storage by 20–50%, but converting forest to farmland can reduce organic carbon storage by ∼ 40% (Guo and Gifford, 2002).
