摘要: Geoengineering methods are intended to reduce climate change, which is already having demonstrable effects on ecosystem structure and functioning in some regions. Two types of geoengineering activities that have been proposed are: carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR), removes CO2 from the atmosphere, solar radiation management (SRM, or sunlight reflection methods), reflects a small percentage back into space offset warming greenhouse gases (GHGs). Current research suggests SRM CDR might diminish impacts change ecosystems by reducing changes temperature precipitation. However, sudden cessation would exacerbate ecosystems, interfere with oceanic terrestrial processes. The many risks uncertainties associated these new kinds purposeful perturbations Earth system not well understood require cautious comprehensive research.
