Question
Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon. In the first model diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a natural, pre-industrial landscape. In the second model, diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a landscape altered by human activity and industry. Finally, write a few short sentences on what you would expect the atmospheric levels of CO2 to be in each model and why they would or would not be similar.

- We learned an ironic twist in the film called "The Other Inconvenient Truth." It was that a. agriculture creates more pollution than other sources, but we have to increase farming for the growing population b. that nitrogen in the soil is significant pollution, but if we don't use these fertilizers we will not have enough food c. That methane is produced by animals and by growing rice. So becoming vegetarian won't clear methane from the atmosphere. d. agriculture uses 70% of fresh water mined , causing a salt water pollution tooarrow_forwardWhich of the descriptions below captures how carbon moves from one compartment to another in the terrestrial carbon cycle?
