The atmospheric carbon reservoir is largely controlled by biotic processes. To obtain a better sense of this, it is helpful to consider the turnover time of carbon in the 

Interannual deviations from a long-term steady-state balance between respiration and photosynthesis are likely and thought to be caused by large-scale phenomena, such as ENSO events.
