Carbon Cycle is responsible for the formation and development of soil. Carbon in the form of organic matter (litterfall) introduces important nutrients to the soil Carbon in the form of organic matter is essential for plant growth and production of food.
Valuable source of energy in the form of wood and fossil fuels
More Co2 available results in more photosynthesis and plant growth. More co2 has also led to an increased growing season for plants
More co2 has increase temperatures which then leads into increased decay of organic matter.
