  "term": "Carbon sink",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores carbon-containing chemical compounds for an indefinite period, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The process by which carbon sinks remove CO2 is known as carbon sequestration. Major natural sinks include forests, soils, and oceans, which absorb more carbon than they release through their biological and physical processes.",
