[[En-en adult card 6 deforestation|Deforestation]] Players often think that deforestation reduces carbon sinks. In reality, the impact is minimal because deforested areas represent a very small part of the total forest area. On the other hand, the CO<sub>2</sub> emitted is very important. | [[En-en adult card 6 deforestation|Deforestation]] Players often think that deforestation reduces carbon sinks.

[[En-en adult card 8 agriculture|Agriculture]] It doesn't matter if this link is not made, but it is true that agriculture can improve storage capacity through photosynthesis. This is the 0.4% principle (if we increased the soil's capacity to sequester carbon by even 0.4%, we would have a significant impact on CO<sub>2</sub>). | [[En-en adult card 8 agriculture|Agriculture]] It doesn't matter if this link is not made, but it is true that agriculture can improve storage capacity through photosynthesis.

[[En-en adult card 32 decline agricultural yields|Decline in agricultural yields]] Studies have shown that yields increase with increased CO<sub>2</sub>, but that the nutrient content of vegetables is reduced as a result, because trace elements are not more abundant when yields increase. | [[En-en adult card 32 decline agricultural yields|Decline in agricultural yields]] Studies have shown that yields increase with increased CO<sub>2</sub>, but that the nutrient content of vegetables is reduced as a result, because trace elements are not more abundant when yields increase. | ||
