Notre environnement comporte, en de nombreux endroits, des «réservoirs» de carbone, où ce carbone est présent sous une forme ou sous une autre :-comme gaz carbonique dissous dans l'océan,-comme composant de molécules organiques dans les êtres vivants(plantes, animaux, microbes) et les cadavres,-comme gaz carbonique présent dans l'atmosphère,-comme composant de matériaux solides présents dans les sols(le calcaire, par exemple). Dès que l'on a affaire à l'un de ces endroits, on s’intéresse à ce qu'il renferme comme carbone(le «stock» de carbone) [...] On le mesure généralement en milliards de tonnes [...] ou encore Gt(gigatonnes) en abrégé. 2, record 1, French, - stock%20de%20carbone
