The main natural sinks are the oceans and plants and other organisms that use photosynthesis to remove carbon from the atmosphere by incorporating it into biomass.
Desertification
The transformation of once fertile land into desert.
These causes (along with deforestation) will lead to loss of vegetation around the area.Loss of vegetation.Without this, soil erosion accelerates and water does not easily absorb into the ground.
Carbon dioxide sink
A carbon reservoir that is increasing in size, and is the opposite of a carbon "source".
