Wood fibre products are a very precious natural resource and play a role in the carbon sink cycle.
America is depending on developing world carbon sinks to keep its exports cheap and its industry subsidised.
Biodiversity is essential to mitigating and adapting to climate change, given, for example, the role of land and sea ecosystems as major carbon sinks.
Carbon sinks are also often people's homes, and ascribing their environment a carbon value would increase the threat to indigenous peoples' land rights.
Carbon sinks lock in industrial greenhouse gas emissions temporarily—50 years is temporarily in terms of the history of the world.
Reay's key peer reviewed publications include novel work on global carbon sinks, the soil methane sink, and nitrous oxide emissions from aquatic systems.
The mats described here are a potential coastal carbon sink that, while small on a global scale, have not been accounted for previously.
Recycling residues provides nutrients, helps prevent erosion, and enhances the soil carbon sink.
