An enzymic latch on a global carbon store.

Aquifers could be used as carbon stores, if they could be made gas-tight.

For example, the planting of new forests may initially release some of the area's existing carbon stores into the atmosphere.

It has also been found to reduce carbon stores in the soil.

Peat bogs are a very important carbon store.

Forests are carbon stores, and they are carbon dioxide sinks when they are increasing in density or area.

Like oil, gas and coal fields, peat bogs act as vast carbon stores.

The mallees are long lived and drought-tolerant, can survive intense fires and develops an extensive root system, allowing for a large, protected, underground carbon store.

Deforestation may cause carbon stores held in soil to be released.

It has been followed by two more zero carbon stores so far, in Bourne, Lincolnshire, and Welshpool.
