Prior to humans, it was volcanoes. But humans currently emit over 100 times as much as volcanoes do on an annual average basis, and this is partially because volcanic activity has been low in the recent past.
It also matters how we view the issue. If we view man's contributions in total verses natures contributions in total, nature produces 94% of the total CO2 produced. Some of man's 6% would belong to nature had we not burned the wood or ate the growth before it decayed.

What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere

What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?
Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.
