Carbon polygons as a source of carbon footprint data of humankind

The carbon cycle plays an important role in the Earth’s ecosystem and it is crucial for understanding climate change. This article explores the concepts of carbon polygons and carbon farms as innovative approaches to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development practices. These areas facilitate the development and adaptation of technologies for measuring carbon sequestration, soil agrochemical studies, and comparing greenhouse gas emissions and absorbers in different ecosystems. The establishment of carbon polygons in Russia, such as the “Carbon” project, allows for accurate measurements of carbon sequestration and testing of different carbon sequestration methods. On the other hand, carbon farming, which is seen as a further development, aims to maximise the uptake of carbon dioxide by terrestrial ecosystems. This approach involves the strategic introduction of highly efficient technologies and the cultivation of plants that excel at carbon capture and storage. The success of carbon polygons and carbon farming depends on a variety of factors. International cooperation and knowledge exchange are critical to advancing research, developing standard methodologies and establishing a global system for measuring carbon sequestration.
