Basically, carbon sinks are holding tanks for carbon or carbon compounds, like carbon dioxide (CO2). One of the largest reservoirs of carbon is the Earthâs hard rock crust. Over the eons sedimentary rocks were formed that contain loads of carbon compounds, including the hydrocarbons that we now use as fossil fuels.
Atmospheric carbon consists mostly of carbon dioxide and has two major sinks: terrestrial ecosystems and marine ecosystems, both of which deal with photosynthesis as a part of assimilation and respiration as a part of release. 1  Terrestrial ecosystems draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis.
