Like all vegetation, native tall grass is part of the carbon cycle. Plants use photosynthesis to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Later when the plant is eaten, or burnt, or degrades, that carbon finds its way back into the atmosphere.

Each year the land and its vegetation puts 439 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air. It also removes about 450 billion tons of carbon dioxide in the same year.

How is a cow eating grass part of the carbon cycle?

The cow eats the grass; as the grass regrows, it takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into its growing leaves and roots (along with other nutrients) and stores the carbon molecules in the soil. The cow that ate the grass also has to excrete her wastes, which turns back into the soil through the act of decomposition. She also releases carbon into the atmosphere, but it is quickly put back into the earth by the plants that breathe it in and exhale oxygen through the act of photosynthesis.


What is the main source of oxygen in the oxygen carbon cycle?

The main source of oxygen in the oxygen carbon cycle is photosynthesis, where plants and phytoplankton convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This process is essential for sustaining life on Earth as it replenishes the oxygen in the atmosphere.

When grass decays why is carbon dioxide made?

When grass decays, the organic matter in the grass is broken down by microbes through the process of decomposition. During this process, carbon stored in the plant material is released as carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
