In more formal usage, parenthesis may refer to the entire bracketed text, not just to the punctuation marks used (so all the text in this set of round brackets may be said to be a parenthesis, a parenthetical, or a parenthetical phrase).
Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2). Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change.
Terrestrial Sequestration. Terrestrial (or biologic) sequestration means using plants to capture CO 2 from the atmosphere and then storing it as carbon in the stems and roots of the plants as well as in the soil. In photosynthesis, plants take in CO 2 and give off the oxygen (O 2) to the atmosphere as a waste gas.
