I don't think plants are involved in the decline in global sink,
it is mostly the ocean that is getting more concentrated CO2 and
resists absorbtion of more.
And deforestation is another loss of sink, there are less
plants in those areas. But with increased CO2, all plants
should grow faster or bigger or something better.

I am not sure sulphur is needed for plants, but it may
affect solar absorption in the atmosphere and may affect the
precipitation of clouds into rain.

Most plant burning is done in the bellies of animals,
which may do a very good job of using all nutrients present.

Climate myths: Higher CO2 levels will boost plant growth and food
production

"Some have suggested that the increase in plant growth due to CO2 will
be so great that it soaks up much of the extra CO2 from the burning of
fossil fuels, significantly slowing climate change. But the levelling-
off effect means that plants will not simply soak up ever more CO2.

Where did I mention plants taking up more CO2, I only said
more CO2 means plants can grow faster or more lush.

And since the warming effects of Greenhouse Gases is
approaching the leveling off of warming, the problems mentioned
may not happen.
Man cannot live in cold climates without burning fossil
fuel to keep warm.
