CO2 exchange

CO2 exchange refers to the process of carbon dioxide moving between the atmosphere, living organisms, and the Earth's surface. Plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, producing oxygen and organic matter. Animals and humans, in turn, release CO2 when they breathe out and through metabolic processes. This natural cycle is crucial for maintaining the balance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, supporting life on Earth. Additionally, CO2 exchange occurs in oceans and soil, playing a key role in regulating climate and supporting ecosystems. Understanding this process is essential for addressing climate change and promoting sustainability.
