Q
Peat -temp agri
A
Agricultural soil invertion increases microbial activity, more co2, temperatures increase, more evaporation peatland becomes less water logged , undecayed organisms are uncovered and they decay
Permafrost melts - more c02
2
Q
Oceans - co2
A
More co2 in atmosphere as a result of increased human activity, temperature rise, sea temperatures rise, inverse relationship between sea temp and the amount of carbon dioxide held - more co2 dissolved from hydrosphere to atmosphere - co2 levels rise - negative albedo affect
