How does carbon enter the soil and what processes are involved in its transfer from the atmosphere to the ground?

Carbon enters the soil through a process called carbon sequestration, where plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and store it in their tissues. When plants die and decompose, the carbon is released into the soil. Additionally, carbon can also enter the soil through the decomposition of organic matter and through the activities of soil organisms. Overall, the transfer of carbon from the atmosphere to the ground involves photosynthesis, plant decomposition, and soil processes.

Unfortunately your question is redundant; matter causes mass.
