I think so, if I understand correctly. Since carbon cannot be produced or used up, the total amount of carbon in a closed ecosystem does not change. The decrease in carbon in the abiotic matter and in living things in the biodome means there was an
increase somewhere in the system-- in this case in undecomposed dead matter.
