Carbon respiration is a phrase used in combination with Carbon capture and storage carbon storage to calculate the amount of carbon as carbon dioxide CO sub 2 sub flux occurring in the atmosphere through the various processes that add and subtract Carbon dioxide in the Earth s atmosphere atmospheric carbon . The result of this calculation is known as the carbon flux ratio. Basic Process Carbon is added to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, organic respiration, wood burning, and volcanic eruptions. The uptake of carbon from the atmosphere occurs through carbon dissolution into the oceans, Photosynthesis , and the consequent storing of carbon in various forms such as peat bog s, Petroleum oil accumulation, and formation of mineral s such as coal and copper . Carbon Flux Ratio The calculation of the annual net difference between carbon respiration and carbon storage constitutes the annual global atmospheric carbon accumulation rate. Using this method, the annual carbon flux ratio has been calculated to be approaching zero. This means the carbon respiration rate and carbon storage rate are in balance when generating a global estimate of this figure. ref cite web url http www.eia.doe.gov oiaf 1605 gg97rpt chap7.html title Land Use Issues publisher accessdate 2006 09 09 ref Annual net carbon flux has been grossly calculated to be close to zero, implying the respiration rate respiration and Carbon capture and storage storage rates are roughly in balance worldwide.
