Carbon is returned to the earth and released into the atmoshpere through the decay of plants and animals.

Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down the carbon compounds in dead animals and plants and convert the carbon into carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen, or methane if oxygen is not present.
