Plants and trees, they convert it to oxygen

Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.
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.
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.
Photosynthesis is considered a carbon sink in the ecosystem because it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in plants as carbohydrates.
In the carbon cycle, a carbon source releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink absorbs and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Volcanoe eruptions
Volcanic eruptions are a natural source of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash in the atmosphere. During an eruption, gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are released from the magma, along with ash which is a mixture of fine rock particles and gases.

A carbon source is a process that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink is a process that absorbs and stores carbon dioxide.
the atmosphere is the main source of CO2 in the ocean
The most important source of carbon entering atmosphere is industries. Living things, burning fossil fuels and automobiles are other sources of carbon dioxide.
