State
The carbon cycle moves carbon between the atmosphere, living organisms, oceans, and geologic reservoirs through processes including photosynthesis, respiration, and long-term sedimentary burial.
Show
Photosynthesis draws atmospheric carbon dioxide into plant biomass, while respiration and decomposition return it to the atmosphere.
Watch for
The carbon cycle includes slow geologic reservoirs, such as buried sediment, alongside the fast biological exchange most examples emphasize.
