As terrestrial vegetation grows, it removes large quantities of carbon from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When plants die and decompose, most of the carbon they stored returns to the atmosphere. Under these conditions, the overall growth and decay cycle is essentially neutral in terms of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The biomass resulting from plant growth may be harvested and sequestered as organic material through the burial of trees, crop wastes, or charcoal (biochar). This is an example utilizing the combined processes of ______, which would be expected over time to lower the average global surface temperature. a.A and D b.B and I c.E and F d.K and L
