“…Sequestered-carbon pool (carbon stored permanently): This includes the subsurface, i.e., the lithosphere where carbon is present as carbonate minerals (e.g., limestone), as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and also as gaseous CO 2 , either in natural CO 2 deposits or associated to natural gas. This pool includes also (i) artificial carbon sinks that guarantee permanent carbon sequestration, such as carbonated recycled concrete, and (ii) the terrestrial carbon sink, which consists mostly of forests and soil storing carbon both above and below the ground (Keenan and Williams 2018;Ncipha and Sivakumar 2019). The CO 2 absorbed by plants through photosynthesis is transferred to biomass through growth, and is then passed to soil or released through respiration.…”

This contribution introduces a novel carbon pricing system and illustrates its benefits. The system is based on two related but distinct ideas. First, we group the global pools of carbon into three aggregate pools, and we tax or credit human-caused carbon fluxes across the boundaries of the pools. Second, we base the tax or credit solely on physical movements of carbon between pools; hence, the system uses a physical baseline instead of a behavioral baseline based on the hypothetical emissions levels that would have arisen absent the carbon price. The proposed system goes beyond the limitations of current carbon pricing schemes for a number of reasons: it is designed to capture all positive and negative emissions based purely on their climate impact, allowing a broader scope and more appropriate incentives than current systems; it avoids creating bad incentives, particularly those caused by additionality requirements found in carbon offset systems; it captures the complexity of carbon movements through human and natural systems; it reduces measurement errors; and it provides transparent and easily observed price signals. Though this manuscript is conceptual in nature and refrains from discussing the technicalities related to the implementation of the proposed carbon pricing system, we trust that it may contribute to the development of policies enabling a net-zero and net-negative CO$$_{2}$$ 2 -emissions world.

“…The effect of climate change and global warming on the natural forest ecosystem as well as the trees in the ecosystem are very important in relation to global climatic changes, as they play a key role in the global carbon balance and carbon sequestration (Ncipha and Sivakumar 2019). Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration started at around 280 parts per million (ppm) in preindustrial times, but it now exceeds 400 ppm and is expected to reach 600-800 ppm by the end of the century (Quirk et al 2019).…”

The concentration of atmospheric CO 2 is increasing largely owing to human activities. Although it is well established that elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) stimulates plant growth and primary productivity, the effect of eCO 2 on soil microbial communities remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of eCO 2 on the taxonomical diversity, composition, and structure of rhizosphere microbial communities of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) through next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 16S rRNA genes. Three bacterial phyla, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria, were found to be dominant in all samples. Species richness estimates (Chao1 and ACE) and diversity indices (Shannon and Simpson) for the three sampling chambers were the highest from the eCO 2 (approximately 1.4Â ambient, % 560 ppm). These findings suggested that elevated atmospheric CO 2 affected the bacterial community composition in the rhizosphere of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora).
