How to read this

Every construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to sequestration is injunction.

Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

Physiology and medicine

Abnormal isolation of blood or tissue in the body

D. M. Pryce's 1946 study of intralobar sequestration of the lung applied the word to a mass of lung tissue that develops without a normal connection to the airway and draws its blood from a systemic artery rather than the pulmonary circulation. The word is used more broadly in medicine for tissue or blood that becomes abnormally isolated from its normal channels: a fragment of dead bone that separates from healthy bone is a sequestrum, and in sickle cell disease an acute splenic sequestration crisis is a sudden pooling of blood in the spleen. The referent is a pathological separation of tissue or blood within a single patient, and it has nothing to do with a court seizing property, an automatic cut to a budget, or carbon held in a sink.[1]

Unit
One anatomical region, or a volume of blood, isolated from its normal circulation
Recovery means
Sequestered dead tissue is usually removed surgically, and a splenic pooling crisis may resolve with transfusion
Measured by
Identified on imaging such as CT or ultrasound, by its systemic blood supply, or on pathology of the resected tissue

Climate and earth science

Long-term capture and storage of atmospheric carbon

Lackner and colleagues' 1995 Carbon dioxide disposal in carbonate minerals set out an early form of the idea: capturing carbon dioxide and locking it away durably, here by reacting it into stable carbonate rock. Lal's 2004 Soil carbon sequestration impacts on global climate change and food security is the widely cited statement of the biological route, the long-term capture and storage of atmospheric carbon in soils and vegetation, alongside geological storage underground. The referent is a biogeochemical and engineered process that moves carbon from the atmosphere into a lasting sink, and it bears no relation to a court seizing property, a diseased pocket of tissue, or an automatic cut to a budget.[2][3]

Unit
A mass of carbon moved into a sink, in tonnes of carbon or CO2 equivalent
Recovery means
Stored carbon can be re-released if the sink is disturbed, so permanence is assessed over decades to centuries
Measured by
Estimated from soil and biomass carbon inventories, gas flux measurements, and monitoring of geological storage sites
