This diagram shows gigatons of carbon moving to and from the atmosphere each year and yes the diagram is valences.
Which factor is responsible for fixation?
Cutting down large areas of forests Plants are responsible for fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide. If the number of plants is reduced, the amount of carbon dioxide moved from the atmosphere to vegetation will also decrease.
The biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth is known as the carbon cycle.
According to the question, emitted amount of carbon is 480 gigatons but the amount of carbon in the environment is approx 190 gigatons, so the remaining amount of the carbon was stored by the oceans and other water reservoir, which may be get clear throug the attached diagram.
Therefore, This diagram shows gigatons of carbon moving to and from the atmosphere each year and yes the diagram is valences.
