Eventually the carbon will be converted to carbon dioxide one way or another. If it consumed by animals, the carbon will be converted to carbon dioxide and expelled to the atmosphere. If used as a fertilizer, it will be decomposed releasing carbon dioxide or utilized to produce more plant life which keeps the cycle continuing.
