All the living things are made out carbon; most of the fuels that people used for energy are made primary for carbon, including the food we eat. The carbon in the terrestrial biosphere is stored in the forests. Above-ground the trees have 86% of carbon and also soils has 73% of the carbon. The Carbon is stored inside of plants then it is transformed in oxygen by the process of photosynthesis. The carbon can be transported into another organism. When animals eat plants, for example, the organic carbon stored in the plants is converted into other forms and utilized inside the animals.

The trunk of the tree also absorbed part of the CO2 and send those thru the roots underground and that is what is called root decomposition. Also when the leaves or branches fall down for a period of time, after that the plant start the process of decomposition that goes all the way thru the soil and it’s absorbed for decomposers, this decomposer help to the soil to be good, and be able to plants can grow, and start to be respired by heterotrophs.

After the animal eat the plants they are consuming carbon, and they release this carbon thru the atmosphere with the process of respiration. This carbon is stored in the atmosphere until the plants absorbed the CO2 again by the process of photosynthesis with the help of sun radiation. The carbon is transferred by steps of the food chain from one organism to another. Because the human activities this carbon has huge impacts in the terrestrial biosphere, changing the way it acts, and causing some damages in the ecosystem or causing the climate change in all the planet, because the plants can’t handle it, because it’s something unnatural.
