Ecosystems regulate carbon dioxide levels through a process called the carbon cycle. In this cycle, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce oxygen and organic compounds. This helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, carbon dioxide is stored in plant biomass and in soil through decomposition processes. This natural cycle helps to maintain a balance in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
