Abstract

The capacity of wetland ecosystems to absorb and store carbon is exceedingly beneficial to the environment. The net uptake fluxes of both forest and non-forest environments can be calculated by eliminating photosynthesis from oxidation. The regrowth of forests and the use of timber products made the biggest contribution to the net absorption of CO2. Non-forest ecosystems, such as vegetation and agricultural soils, as well as wetlands, rivers, and reservoirs, absorb a lesser and less certain amount of carbon. The effects of ocean acidification and ocean fertilization on coastal and marine food webs, in addition to their effects on other resources, are poorly understood. On significant habitats, the effects of diverse carbon sequestration methods (including geology sequestration, ocean sequestration, and terrestrial sequestration) were investigated. In this study, we examined the carbon sequestration that occurs in a diversity of wetland ecosystems and identified the potential of such sequestrations. Depending on the type of wetland habitat, the capacity for carbon sequestration fluctuates, making wetland ecosystems a valuable carbon sequestration resource.

Conclusion

This study analysed and discussed the potential for carbon sequestration in various wetland-use systems. To attain this objective, each sequesters potential was investigated. It is feasible for this physical trapping technique, which is the same as the natural geologic entrapment of oil and gas, to store carbon dioxide for thousands to millions of years into the future. This might be a significant step in mitigating the effects of climate change. This is the case because the two systems are indistinguishable from one another in any respect. Some of the infused carbon dioxide may eventually be dissolved in the groundwater, while others may be stored in the form of carbonate minerals created by chemical reactions with the rock in the surrounding area. These reactions may take place over time. Following the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, each of these processes probably underwent a series of shifts over the course of some amount of time. Researchers are currently investigating the long-term viability of a range of technologies for the sequestration of carbon dioxide. In addition, researchers are creating methodologies to evaluate the chance that CO2 that has been geologically stored will be released into the atmosphere
