Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Part 1— Field Studies The Gas Technology Institute with support from Illinois Clean Coal Institute and cooperation of the Illinois State Geological Survey designed and implemented a comprehensive research project aimed at determining the viability of seismic techniques for site selection and monitoring of carbon dioxide sequestration in Illinois coals. Editor’s note...

Carbon sequestration is an emerging forest management objective within California and around the world. With the passage of the California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32) our need to understand the dynamics of carbon sequestration and to accurately measure carbon storage is essential to insure successful implementation of carbon credit projects throughout the State. As the leader in fores...

carbon is the most important greenhouse element which sequestrates by photosynthesis procedure and is the easiest and cheapest way of decreasing atmospheric gas level. the vegetation cover that has woody texture is more capable for carbon sequestration. the most plant species of arid rangelands are the shrub growth forms. the purpose of this research was to assess carbon sequestration potential...

soil is known as a suitable reservoir for carbon sequestration. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of haloxylon on sequestration of carbon in sand dunes of yahya abad, sabzevar, in northeastern iran. eighty soil samples were taken from two depths of 0-5 and 5-10 cm under and between haloxylon trees. eight soil profiles under and between haloxylon trees were described ...

This paper introduces an integrated assessment (IA) approach for a Canada-China joint research project that linked forest carbon sequestration, forest resource management, and local sustainability enhancement. The purpose of the IA was to improve the measurement of carbon in different land uses and vegetation covers, as well as to direct decision makers to those land uses or options as an CO(2)...

carbon sequestration potential of three species including agropyron elengatum, stipa barbata and artemisia aucheri was evaluated in parts of a semi-arid rangeland in this study. after determination and selecting key areas as study sites, sampling from vegetation and soil, based on randomized systematic method, was done and 90 plant and 45 soil samples were taken, respectively. shooting and root...

in recent years, rangelands have been regarded as potential carbon sinks. one of the most widely suggested options to sequester more c in rangelands is the restoration of the degraded rangelands through grazing the exclusion. in present study, the effects of exclusion on the carbon sequestration of gomishan rangelands were investigated. three transects were established in a key area inside and ...
