are there any processes other that photosynthesis that fix carbon?
What about carbon fixation by marine animals and micro-organisms? There must be a lot of carbon locked permanently in chalk, limestone and marble. Is this process continuing, and if so, what proportion of anthropogenic carbon is being fixed in this way?
[edit] Carbon Fixation Processes
It would be helpful, I think, were all three of the Wikipedia articles on particular carbon fixation processes -- C3, C4 & CAM -- be placed together under this "Carbon Fixation" banner.
I think this is a much plant-related subject; many autotrophic microorganisms exist as well. Why not add the three other CO2 fixation routes (acetyl CoA, rTCA etc)?
