Increasing total biomass permanently, e.g. reverting the loss in planetary forest cover, or growing the amount of soil, is a sink.

It's a small, shallow sink, making it effectively still a buffer. It isn't going to help much in addressing an exponentially growing flow. Especially that we won't be able to fully regrow forests anyway - there are more humans now, who need space to live and space for farming.

I thought it wasn't a sink because of methane?
