Which of the following is not a way in which carbon sequestration can benefit soil? a. decreased erosion b. increased water quality c. increased water storage d. increased soil quality

Option B

Explanation:

The process by which free gaseous carbon is removed from the atmosphere and is stored in other two phases of matter i.e liquid and solid is called as carbon sequestration.

The photosynthetic process carried out by all chlorophyll containing organism leads to  carbon sequestration naturally. However, when these plants and animals die,  they are decomposed in soil and the carbon with in them is transferred to the soil. This increases the productivity of soil as the content of organic material increases in soil.  Increased soil nutrient richness lead to higher productivity of plants whose roots hold the soil and prevent its erosion.  With higher organic content, the water retention capacity of soil also increases.

Hence, option B is correct
