Understanding the Carbon Cycle: How Human Activities Affect Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
Author(s): Chibuike Onwukwe*
The carbon cycle is a fundamental biogeochemical cycle that regulates the movement of carbon through the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, soil,
and living organisms. It is essential for maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and supporting life on Earth. However,
human activities have significantly disrupted this natural cycle, leading to increased atmospheric CO2 levels and contributing to global climate
change. This paper explores the dynamics of the carbon cycle, focusing on how human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation,
and industrial processes have altered atmospheric CO2 concentrations. We review the current understanding of carbon fluxes between different
reservoirs and the impact of anthropogenic emissions on global climate systems. The discussion includes the implications of rising.. Read More»
