Carbon sequestration by photosynthetic organisms is the principal mechanism for absorption of atmospheric CO2. Since 1950s, however, global carbon cycle has been distorted as increased anthropogenic CO2 emissions have greatly outstripped rates sequestration, with a 50% increase in levels less than century, leading to perturbation climate systems and threatening food production social stability. In order address current imbalance flux, it important both reduce net promote sequestration. To latter issue, we need better understand roles systems, such natural forests, coastal wetlands, tropical croplands, devise strategies facilitate uptake. trees crops already removes excess 1000 million tonnes annually but threatened activities deforestation drainage carbon-rich peatland. Improvements can be achieved policies growing part agroforestry enforcing limitations on use peatland, auditing impact major cropping focus those that deliver high yields efficiency. As an initial step this process, detailed case study presented tree crop, African oil palm, Elaeis guineensis. This analysis includes comparison potential palm forests other crops, biomass future aimed at achieving net-zero targets related crops.
