Which activities limit the amount of carbon that is removed from the atmosphere?

The natural carbon cycle is for animals to produce carbon dioxide and for plants to absorb it, so that a long term balance is maintained, with carbon dioxide levels around 260-280 parts per million (ppm). When we cut down trees, without allowing new ones to replace them, this limits the amount of carbon that is removed from the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere for two reasons The first is that many of your activities produce carbon dioxide The second reason is that some of your activities limit the amount of?
The amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. (These activities are cutting down and destroying forests.)
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.

What is happening to Earth's carbon dioxide?
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasingly drastically, attributed primarily to human activities.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere?
yea
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere and put into food through?
the carbon cycle
Why should carbon stay the same in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere is added by processes like combustion, decomposition and losses from methane sources. It is removed by photosynthesis and, chemical reaction and dissolving in ocean water. As long as the sources exceed the sinks the carbon will stay (and increase) in the atmosphere. Human activities increase the sources and decrease the sinks.
What gas is removed from the atmosphere by plants and algae?
it removes carbon.
