Russians fail to manage their swamps and forests. They burn regularly.

I bet that contributed a lot to the 2010-s CO2.

Phytoplankton loss does that too.
When you just burn a forest, you release carbon that was in the atmosphere a few years or decades ago. Those trees would die eventually, and most of the carbon would go to the atmosphere anyway.
When you dry a swamp and burn a peat bog, you release carbon that was in the atmosphere centuries ago. Under normal circumstances, that carbon would stay underground for millennia.
Now, the methane released from underneath thawing permafrost - that's actually dangerous - but there's not much that can be done to manage that to my knowledge...

The carbon in those was sequestered; under normal circumstances, it would remain buried for millennia.
Those are modern analog of those carboniferous-period forests.
While some people consider peat as renewable, the renew rate is very slow. Until burned, there was a lot of carbon stored for quite some time.
