1.   Along with the benefits of carbon storage, such deals aid the environment in other ways, Wayburn said.

2.   Rather than retrieve data from a hard drive or CD-ROM, the chip could tap into immediately accessible high-density carbon data storage.

3.   Scientists believe that higher carbon dioxide levels will have a major influence on plant growth, carbon storage, water use and interspecies competition in forests of the future.

4.   In the other study, researchers estimate a net gain in carbon storage as the result of timber management programs and reforestation efforts in China.

5.   In the other study in Science, researchers estimate there is enhanced carbon storage in China as the result of timber management programs and reforestation efforts.

6.   The study concludes that improved forest management could contribute significantly to carbon storage, thus helping to offset the release of carbon dioxide.
