Thresholds for Sequestration

Thresholds for sequestration refer to specific limits set in policies, often related to budgetary or environmental contexts, that trigger automatic reductions or actions. For example, in U.S. federal budgeting, if government spending exceeds a set limit, automatic cuts to programs may occur, known as sequestration. In environmental science, sequestration might involve capturing and storing carbon emissions; thresholds here could indicate the levels of emissions that, if surpassed, initiate mandatory capture processes. Essentially, these thresholds act as predetermined points that, when crossed, lead to specific consequences or actions.
