Astronauts as well.
I am a hobby aquarist. Carpeting plants require direct injection of CO2 to thrive, else they die out quickly.
The fish in the tank aren't stressed by this either.
Earth is a giant fish tank. Those plants lock up that carbon, and with it consume nitrogen converted by nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Decaying matter like excrement and dead plants/animals create ammonia (NH4+).
Nitrosomas (nitrogen fixing bacteria) convert it to Nitrites (NO2+).
Nitrospira convert it to Nitrates (NO3-).
This same process occurs in the soil. This cycle is the key to life on this planet.
There are also CO2 fixing bacteria. Cyanobacteria, green algae and diatoms use CO2 to grow and help regulate levels. This is why the ocean processes the most CO2 by a large margin over the entire plant. This is the case for both fresh and salt water.
If you inject CO2 into an aquarium, and don't have a plant load that can handle it, these organisms thrive. You get algae blooms, cyanobacteria blooms and cloudy tank surfaces covered in diatoms.
This blue-green algae is dangerous to plant and animal life. It kills plants by covering them and denying photosynthesis, and then their lack of oxygenation kills the animals.
Nutrient imbalances can also cause these to thrive, like excess ammonia. This burns plants and the gills of fish. This causes them to die, and release more ammonia. They also are highly efficient, and take all the oxygen from the water. Then they die, releasing more ammonia.
Cyanobacteria fix CO2 twice as fast as plants, and double in number every 3 hours.
Without plants to out compete these other factors, the tank dies and turns into a green sludge.
Just some fun facts.
I wonder what the result would be to apply that knowledge of fish tanks to a larger scale, like agriculture. You know, like to become less reliant on pesticides and herbicides?
I think about the earth every day as a Paludarium. It's a fish tank with both above and below surface of the water plant and animal life.
I mainly do these setups these days. Way more interesting with waterfalls, etc.
The earth is self-regulating for the most part. That's the ultimate truth.
Humans came around burning wood and oil at just the right time.
There was once a time where there was too much oxygen, and not enough carbon. We came along and put it back into the atmosphere for plants to breathe.
When there was an abundance of carbon, the planet was never greener. History is dope, real history.
Historically, giant fires and volcanoes would put tons of carbon back into the atmosphere. However, after a long enough time this cycle was not enough. We exist to dig up carbon. From diamonds to oil.
