Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light. Through photosynthesis, plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen for us to breathe.
There is no known way that humans can economically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; all we can really do is reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide and slow down the rate at which atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing. The surface waters of the ocean do absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as atmospheric carbon dioxide level increase, but there is little interchange betwen the warm upper ocean and the deep layers. However over a period of several thousand years, there is sufficient interchange to absorb large volumes of carbon dioxide, allowing the atmospheric concentration to return more or less to normal. Afforestation. Planting trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Deforestation, the cutting down of forests, means that the trees no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air, through photosynthesis. More carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere means increased warming. This warming is causing the climate to change.
do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air
Plants remove Carbon Dioxide from the environment.
no
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
Because trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and if they cut them down we will have more carbon dioxide.
When a tree is removed, it can no longer remove any carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Trees and other growing vegetation remove the most carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
Over-logging of trees means that they can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This has actually happened and levels of carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.

The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Photosynethesis by plants helps remove carbon from the air.
They release carbon dioxide when they burn.The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
