TeachMeFinance.com - explain Carbon sequestration Carbon sequestration The term 'Carbon sequestration ' as it applies to the area of agriculture can be defined as ' Retention of carbon in ways that prevent or delay its emission to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This may help mitigate climate change by reducing the amount in the atmosphere. Silvicultural practices that encourage rapid, long term tree growth are an example. Crop residue retention practices designed to prevent erosion and improve the productivity of soil, such as conservation tillage, also retain larger amounts of carbon compared to many traditional cultivation practices'.
