Carbon Sink
The capacity of ecosystems such as forests, soils and oceans to absorb and store carbon dioxide; an important natural mechanism for addressing climate change.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Carbon sinks refer to ecosystems or processes that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and other means; forests, wetlands and oceans are the main natural carbon sinks.
Felling 250,000 trees means this carbon sink is directly removed in the short term, and the originally stored carbon will be re-released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
The carbon sink loss caused by large-scale felling is typically several times or even dozens of times the emission reduction benefits of the data center's operational phase.
