Human activities are significantly modifying the natural global
carbon (C) cycles, and concomitantly influence climate, ecosystems,
and state and function of the Earth system. Ever increasing amounts
of carbon dioxide (CO2) are added to the atmosphere by fossil fuel
combustion but the biosphere is a potential C sink. Thus, a
comprehensive understanding of C cycling in the biosphere is
crucial for identifying and managing biospheric C sinks. Ecosystems
with large C stocks which must be protected and sustainably managed
are wetlands, peatlands, tropical rainforests, tropical savannas,
grasslands, degraded/desertified lands, agricultural lands, and
urban lands. However, land-based sinks require long-term management
and a protection strategy because C stocks grow with a progressive
improvement in ecosystem health.
