 Carbon sequestration is “the process of increasing the carbon content of a reservoir other than the atmosphere” (Reid 2005) ((Reid, W. V. (Ed.) (2005): Ecosystems and human well-being. Synthesis; a report of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, MEA - Millennium Ecosystem Assessment & WRI - World Resources Institute. Washington, DC.)) . Others define it as “the process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and depositing it in a reservoir” (UN 2014)((UN (United Nations) (Ed.) (2014): Glossary of climate change acronyms and terms, UNFCCC - Climate Change Sekretariat.

CO2 is considered as one of the most important greenhouse gases contributing to global climate change. Thus the sequestration of CO2 is an important climate regulating service. Carbon sequestration is “the process of increasing the carbon content of a reservoir other than the atmosphere” (Reid 2005) ((Reid, W.
