Geochemical modeling of CO2 emissions from volcanic soil microseepage: implications for greenhouse gas budget by Xianzhe Duan, Haoran Sun, Nan Li, Jiale Dou

“…Our results provide important insights as follows: (1) Low porosity in subsurface strata inhibits CO2 penetration, while well-developed underground cracks and channels enhance release rates. (2) Favorable gas pathways enable CO2 to penetrate dense layers, and migrate upward, with migration patterns influenced by gas source pressure, temperature, and soil permeability. …”
