Carbon fixation, artwork C017 / 7206
Carbon fixation. Computer artwork showing how carbon fixation occurs in a typical countryside habitat. Carbon capture (fixation) consists of the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through biological or physical processes, and its subsequent storage in sinks such as oceans, forests and the soil. In this image, the process is illustrated in five steps: 1) CO2 is assimilated by plants and used in photosynthesis. 2) The carbon is fixed into the tissues of trees. 3) A fraction of the captured carbon is absorbed by consumer organisms (heterotrophs). 4) By breathing, these organisms emit CO2 into the atmosphere. 5) The carbon returns to the environment as CO2, but a significant fraction remains retained within the plants

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Carbon Fixation" beautifully depicts the intricate process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in various natural sinks. Set against a striking black background, this computer-generated image showcases a typical countryside habitat teeming with life. In five distinct steps, the viewer is taken on a visual journey through this crucial ecological cycle. First, plants assimilate CO2 during photosynthesis, utilizing it to sustain their growth and vitality. Next, the captured carbon becomes fixed within the tissues of majestic trees that dominate the landscape. A fraction of this stored carbon is then absorbed by consumer organisms like horses and cows as they graze upon nature's bounty. However, as these heterotrophs breathe out CO2 into the atmosphere in step four, an essential part of respiration occurs: some carbon returns to its gaseous state but not all. Remarkably, a significant portion remains retained within plants themselves—a testament to their vital role as nature's guardians. The intricate details showcased in this artwork highlight both the interconnectedness and fragility of our planet's ecosystems. It serves as a powerful reminder that biological processes play an instrumental role in mitigating climate change by capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carlos Clarivan masterfully captures this complex ecological dance through his artistic interpretation—an awe-inspiring fusion of science and creativity that invites viewers to appreciate Earth's delicate balance while inspiring them towards sustainable actions for future generations.
