You wonât find it in your kitchen or bathroom: Carbon sinks are natural systems that suck up and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The main natural carbon sinks are plants, the ocean and soil. Plants grab carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis; some of this carbon is transferred to soil as plants die and decompose. The oceans are a major carbon storage system for carbon dioxide.
Soil respiration is a key carbon cycle process that moves carbon from soil to the atmosphere in the form of CO2and methane (CH4). to the atmosphere drives how much carbon eventually gets stored in soil.ecomposition and Soil Respiration. Decomposition and soil respiration are tightly coupled carbon cycle processes. As soil microbes decompose dead material into simpler organic and inorganic carbon compounds, soil microbes respire and in doing so release carbon back to plants and the atmosphere in the form of CO 2.
