Vegetation monitoring can be used to detect CO leakage in carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites because it can monitor a large area at a relatively low cost. However, a rapidly responsive, sensitive, and cost-effective plant parameters must be suggested for vegetation monitoring to be practically utilized as a CCS management strategy. To screen the proper plant parameters for leakage monitoring, a greenhouse experiment was conducted by exposing kale ( var.

The effects of high soil CO concentration on microbes is a major element of impact assessments of CO leakage on terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the responses of microbial functional groups of ammonia-oxidizers, methanogens, and methanotrophs in high soil CO conditions.

We conducted a greenhouse experiment to investigate the effects of high soil CO on plant growth and the soil environment. Treatments comprised 99.

However, the possibility of CO leakage from reservoirs and pipelines exists, and such leakage could negatively affect organisms in the soil environment. Therefore, to determine the impacts of geological CO leakage on plant and soil processes, we conducted a greenhouse study in which plants and soils were exposed to high levels of soil CO.
