Carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, and this is removed largely by photosynthesis, from growing plants and trees.
Carbon absorbing plants, such as trees and other vegetation, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the environment.
Greenhouse gas molecules can absorb and re-emit infrared radiation when they encounter it. This process traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.
The short answer is no, denitrification is actually favorable to farming. When farmers fertilize fields, most of the nitrogen is lost to groundwater or streams. The farm is responsible for where that nitrogen ultimately ends up (excess nitrogen causes depleted water quality downstream). Denitrification naturally removes nitrogen from groundwater, soils, and streams. This process does have a downside, though. It can produce nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Although denitrification removes nitrogen from water, it can also release a greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Scientists are studying when more nitrous oxide is released and how that can be managed.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
Yes, sulfur dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Yes, SO2 is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, ammonia is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, deforestation increases the greenhouse effect because trees absorb carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down or burned, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.
Water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight warms the Earth's surface, water evaporates and enters the atmosphere where it can absorb and re-radiate heat. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature, similar to how a greenhouse traps heat inside.
