    Living biomass holds about 550 gigatons of carbon, [1] most of which is made of terrestrial plants (wood), while some 1,200 gigatons of carbon are stored in the terrestrial biosphere as dead biomass. [2] Carbon is cycled through the terrestrial biosphere with varying speeds, depending on what form it is stored in and under which circumstances. [3]

    For energy storage, the energy density relates the stored energy to the volume of the storage equipment, e.g. the fuel tank. The higher the energy density of the fuel, the more energy may be stored or transported for the same amount of volume. The energy of a fuel per unit mass is called its specific energy.
