The carbon cycle is nature’s way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. Evaluate the carbon cycle model. Predict the changes that would occur within the carbon cycle as a result of deforestation. Choose all that apply A) there would be less carbon in the soil due to the loss of trees B) there would be an increase in atmospheric carbon due to less plant respiration C) there would be an increase in atmospheric carbon due to decreasing photosynthesis D) there would be an increase in oceanic carbon due to increasing atmospheric levels E) there would be an increase in atmospheric carbon due to increased emissions from burning of trees
