Information
has glosseng: Black carbon or BC is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon warms the planet by absorbing heat in the atmosphere and by reducing albedo, the ability to reflect sunlight, when deposited on snow and ice. Black carbon stays in the atmosphere for only several days to weeks, whereas CO2 has an atmospheric lifetime of more than 100 years. The term black carbon is also used in soil sciences and geology, referring either to deposited atmospheric BC or to directly incorporated BC from vegetation fires . Especially for the tropics, BC in soils significantly contributes to fertility as it is able to adsorb important plant nutrients .

Czarny węgiel ociepla planetę absorbując ciepło i redukując albedo, zdolność do odbijania promieni słonecznych skierowanych na śnieg czy lód. Czarny węgiel pozostaje w atmosferze od kilku dni do kilku tygodni podczas gdy CO2 pozostaje w atmosferze ponad 100 lat.
