Sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. In each case, there was a different cause that dictated a different treatment. The scratchy throat probably was a mechanical problem caused by dry, heated winter air and aggravated by my friend's tendency to breathe through her mouth when she sleeps.
Definition. Carbon-storing natural feature (such as a forest or the land mass) that exchanges carbon with other reservoirs. A reservoir from which no outflow of carbon compounds takes place is called carbon sink.
Models of the carbon cycle, based on mathematical formulations, consist of reservoirs of carbon and the fluxes between these reservoirs. Examples of reservoirs are the ocean, the atmosphere, the biosphere, the soil carbon, the carbonate sediments, and the organic carbon sediments.. The fluxes between them describe the rate at which atoms move from one reservoir into another.
