1) Plants and plankton use carbon in the atmosphere for photosynthesis (CO2 + H2O -> C6H12O8 + O2).
2) Animals eat the plankton and plants, or decomposers/detritivores break down decaying plant material. This releases carbon back into the atmosphere via cellular respiration.
3) Dead organisms are buried and become fossil fuels, burned for fuel because of its carbon content (this returns carbon to the atmosphere)

Succession is an ecological process associated with the renewal of the ecosystem after a disturbance.

The process of succession is fundamental for reaching the homeostasis (internal equilibrium) of the ecosystem.

The succession may involve the emergence of new species in the ecosystem after disturbance.
