Does vegetation contribute to long-term carbon sequestration?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Peggy Dunbar So yes, vegetation can contribute to long-term carbon sequestration, although primarily by mechanisms other than the river transport and ocean deposition you proposed. Show activity on this post. Plant matter decomposes, partly it is digested aerobically (releasing CO2 again) but partly it forms humic acids. What factors influence carbon sequestration? Uptake
