Humans can indeed be considered carbon sinks. Not only do humans have a lot of carbon in them they also use a lot of carbon.
The great forests of the world used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it. They were carbon sinks, but they exist no longer. If we can create artificial carbon sinks they will reduce the effects of global warming by removing CO2 from the air.

Grasslands are globally important because they are a natural Carbon Sink and natural carbon sinks are an important part of a natural process called Carbon Cycle.In the carbon cycle, earth both emits and re-captures and stores large quantities of Carbon Dioxide, also known as CO2, from the earth's atmosphere thereby keeping the global temperature more or less in balance.Terrestrial plants use the carbon dioxide from the air for their photosynthesis process.Other important carbon sinks are forests and oceans.
its important because the plants take in carbon and let out oxygen and without oxygen we will die
Peatlands, soils and the ocean floor are well-recognized as sites of organic carbon accumulation and represent important global carbon sinks

The indian octapublius was is the most important. By conserving water we can save it. < answer to the question in the geo txtbook xD
The two largest carbon sinks on the earth are oceans and soil.Also forests can be mentioned .Carbon dioxide is emitted and taken away by plants .
The ocean and soil
What are natural sinks? These areas are known as 'natural sinks'. Some of these natural sinks are forest cover (trees, vegetation), oceans, and soil to some extent, all of which have the ability to take in carbon dioxide. ... Trees and other land plants absorb carbon dioxide and serve as a storehouse, or 'sink', of carbon.
A carbon sink is a storage for carbon. A tree is a carbon sink because it absorbs carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere, stores the carbon and releases the oxygen. So forests are major carbon sinks which reduce the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

Plants are big carbon sinks, they make there parts with carbon compounds and they take in a lot of the carbon dioxide pumped into the air by humans.
no oceans are also referred to as carbon sinks. this is because marine organisms make shells out of carbonate which later turn into a sedimentary rock called limestone. also the carbon in these shells can remain in for a long time. the carbon is returned to the air as carbon dioxide during weathering and volcanic eruptions.
plants are the sinks of carbon dioxide and releases oxygen it is cycle process
