Global warming is a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere caused by the increased volumes of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Greenhouse gases is trapped inside the atmosphere and caused UV radiation difficulty passing through Earth’s atmosphere, a processed is often referred to as the greenhouse effect. Reclamation and revegetation activities were expected could decrease the greenhouse effect. The aims of the research is to estimate total carbon stock in Pine Forest age 2005 or 11 years and 2012 or 4 years, and also to compare the result with former research in post mining revegetation site PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk. Biomass measurement of trees, poles, and saplings is conducted with non-destructive methods meanwhile biomass measurements of understorey, litter, and necromassa used destructive methods. The result showed that the value of biomass and carbon stock on the 2005 pine stand is acquired 75.31 tons/ha and 35.39 tons/ha. The value of the biomass and carbon stock on the 2012 pine stand is acquired 12.72 tons/ha and 5.98 ton/ha or increased from the previous year's measurement. Increasing of biomass content and carbon stocks is caused several factors such as increasing of diameter increment dan site quality. Keywords: biomass, carbon, reclamation

Greenhouse effect is responsible for keeping average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere at level of about 288 K. Its intensification leads to warming of our planet and may contribute to adverse changes in the environment. The most important pollution intensifying greenhouse effect is anthropogenic carbon dioxide. This particular gas absorbs secondary infrared radiation, which in the end leads to an increase of average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. Main source of CO2 is burning of fossil fuels, like oil, natural gas, and coal. Therefore, to reduce its emission, a special CO2 capture and storage technology is required. Carbonaceous materials are promising materials for CO2 sorbents. Thus multiwalled carbon nanotubes, due to the lack of impurities like ash in activated carbons, were chosen as a model material for investigation of acid treatment impact on CO2 uptake. Remarkable 43% enhancement of CO2 sorption capacity was achieved at 273 K and relative pressure of 0.95. Samples were also thoroughly characterized in terms of texture (specific surface area measurement, transmission electron microscope) and chemical composition (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy).

Photosynthesis And Respiration

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that makes up a small fraction of Earth's atmosphere. Despite its inconspicuous nature, CO2 plays an integral part in sustaining life on Earth, a part that is largely unknown or underappreciated by the general public. We present a set of activities designed to help students overcome the most common misunderstandings about CO2, from its sheer existence as a mass-containing molecule to its complementary roles in photosynthesis and respiration. Through these activities, students will be able to apply their knowledge to real-world phenomena, including weight loss and global warming.
