In order to correctly track and forecast atmospheric concentrations of climate-changing gases, a proper assessment of how much atmospheric carbon vegetation removes from the environment is required.
Carbon assessment tells us where the carbon is moving and how much of it is for each of the Planet’s carbon stocks, including the seas, sky, soil, as well as living things.
The quantity of carbon transferred between Earth’s carbon reservoirs of oceans, environment, soil, and living organisms was calculated by looking at numerous fluxes, and the scientists found that soil breathing releases 95 petagrams of carbon every year.
If this underestimation helps or hurts the empirically documented problem of climate change, it’s something that has to be looked at more closely.
