Natural CO2 sequestering

Natural CO2 sequestering is a set of natural mechanisms that bind CO2 from the atmosphereor water in the biosphere and in the lithosphere.

It therefore consists of continental and oceanic carbon sinks that form carbonised organic matter and carbonates, through biochemical reactions (photosynthesis, biocalcification) or chemical reactions (precipitation, complexation).
