Midlatitude bogs store carbon best.Sediments in lakes and bogs BOGS - Board of Graduate Studies (UK) along the eastern coast of the United States show that midlatitude bodies of water have sequestered sequester v. to keep separate or apart. In so-called "high-profile" criminal prosecutions (involving major crimes, events, or persons given wide publicity) the jury is sometimes "sequestered" in a hotel without access to news media, the general public or their families except under supervision, in order to prevent the jury from being "tainted" by information or opinions about the trial outside of the evidence in the courtroom. higher amounts of carbon than those at other latitudes have since the last ice age. Byrdie Renik, an earth scientist at Columbia University, analyzed data compiled about the organic content of sediments deposited in more than 50 lakes and bogs throughout the eastern United States during the past 10,000 years. There is a con siderable range of average temperatures across the region but only a small variation in annual precipitation.

Conversely, vegetation at higher latitudes grew more slowly but didn't decompose as quickly, Renik notes.  po·si tion·al adj.The highest amounts of organic matter were in sediments taken from bodies of water between the latitudes of 40 [degrees] N and 43 [degrees] N, in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions. At these middle latitudes, the sediments seem to record both high rates of vegetative 1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of plants. 2. concerned with growth and nutrition, as opposed to reproduction. 3. of or pertaining to asexual reproduction, as by budding or fission. 4. functioning involuntarily or unconsciously. 5. resting; denoting the portion of a cell cycle during which the cell is not replicating. growth and low rates of organic decomposition.
