Last updated 4 months ago

This dimension focuses on the storage and emission of carbon, one of the key contributors to climate change. Monitoring carbon levels in ecosystems helps track the balance between carbon sequestration and carbon emissions, which is crucial for managing climate impact. Carbon is also the essential building block of life, forming the backbone of organic molecules that make up all living organisms. By maintaining a stable carbon cycle, ecosystems can sustain life while mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.
