    1. Photosynthesis brings carbon from the atmosphere into plants, ingestion moves carbon from plants to animals, and decomposition moves carbon from above-ground food webs into the soil food web. 2. Respiration releases carbon back into the atmosphere from all living things as a byproduct of converting food into energy. 3. The forest carbon cycle moves carbon between the biosphere and geosphere through processes like combustion, respiration, and dissolving, and carbon can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years.
