Land use changes significantly impact carbon sequestration by altering the ability of ecosystems to absorb and store carbon. Converting forests or wetlands to agricultural or urban areas typically results in reduced carbon uptake and higher greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation and soil degradation diminish the natural carbon sinks that terrestrial ecosystems provide. Conversely, practices such as reforestation, afforestation, and sustainable land management can enhance carbon sequestration. Understanding these relationships is vital for developing strategies to combat climate change and promote sustainable land use.
