- Increasing total plant biomass increases the amount if carbon trapped in that portion of the cycle at any given time
- When plants decay or are eaten, some of the carbon compounds created are solids. Carbon itself is not the problem, carbon-based gases are.
- Some portion of plant biomass is harvested by humans for durable purposes, such as wood and textiles. These uses hold carbon for much longer.
I don't know what the total affect of these is, but they shouldn't be ignored.
