Research on Terrestrial Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Potential from Anthropogenic Sources in Mehedinti County

Abstract:

The carbon cycle is quantitatively altered by the anthropogenic activities, especially by the carbon dioxide emissions. The soil has a fundamental role in this circuit, due the fact that, on the one side, it deposits the organic and non-organic carbon and on the other side, it holds the vegetation, which, through photosynthesis process, extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transforms it in organic matter. Therefore, the role of the soil in terrestrial sequestration is acknowledged. In this paper it is analyzed the terrestrial carbon sequestration potential in Mehedinţi County (Romania).
