A carbon sink absorbs more carbon than it emits. By comparison, a carbon source emits more than it absorbs. For example, your car emits CO2 and a field of grass absorbs CO2.

Carbon sinks are natural processes that remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they release over a given period of time. Terrestrial carbon sinks include forest biomasses, rangeland, and certain agricultural acreages. The oceans are also carbon sinks.
