- ENV325 · Week 2
This lab report covers the Carbon Dioxide Lab for the Environmental Management module. It includes tables and questions about carbon levels in various environmental pools from 2010 to 2100. It helps students understand the impact of deforestation, fossil fuel consumption, and tundra melting on atmospheric carbon levels. This is for Week 2.
What's inside
- Carbon levels in atmospheric, ocean, fossil fuels, biosphere
- Impact of deforestation on atmospheric carbon levels
- Relationship between fossil fuel consumption and carbon in terrestrial plants
- Effect of no fossil fuel consumption on carbon levels
- Impact of tundra melting on atmospheric carbon concentration
Who it is for: Students taking the ENV325 Environmental Management module. (Undergraduate)

Summary
Carbon dioxide and its movement through the environment are studied. Students get practice with simulations and data tables to explore how carbon levels change over time.
Carbon pools and flows
Carbon moves between different pools: atmosphere, ocean, fossil fuels, biosphere. Students fill in data tables for different scenarios. The biosphere includes soil and terrestrial plants.
Impact of deforestation
Students consider the effects of losing half the world's terrestrial plants. They also look at changes in carbon levels when deforestation rates stay the same.
Tundra melting
Students explore how melting tundra affects atmospheric carbon concentration. They compare results with previous data to assess the impact.
Carbon levels and ecosystems
Students examine how increased carbon in the atmosphere and ocean might affect terrestrial and marine life. They consider the relationships between fossil fuel use, plant health, and carbon levels.
Key terms
- carbon pools
- places where carbon is stored, such as the atmosphere and ocean.
- biosphere
- the parts of Earth where life exists, including soil and plants.
- deforestation
- the cutting down of forests, reducing the number of terrestrial plants.
- tundra melting
- the thawing of frozen ground in cold regions, releasing carbon into the atmosphere.
- fossil fuels
- coal, oil and gas, which release carbon when burned.
- carbon levels
- the amount of carbon in a given place, measured in gigatonnes (GT).
Questions this document helps with
- How does deforestation affect atmospheric carbon levels?
- What happens to carbon levels when fossil fuels are not used?
- How does melting tundra change atmospheric carbon concentration?
