Most water plants take up comes out through the leaves: https://cid-inc.com/blog/transpiration-in-plants-its-importance-and-applications/
For every molecule of CO2 sequestered, several hundred molecules of water are evaporated: https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/water-uptake-and-transport-in-vascular-plants-103016037/
Temperatures have been measured to be cooler in forests: https://www.google.co.nz/books/edition/A_Trillion_Trees/Cz00EAAAQBAJ?hl=en
Plants house condensation-nucleating bacteria: https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo1037
When water condenses at cloud level, it releases the heat it absorbed during evaporation: https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/condensation-and-water-cycle
Up to half of this heat released during condensation radiates back into space: https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/78/2/1520-0477_1997_078_0197_eagmeb_2_0_co_2.xml?tab_body=pdf

Healthy ecosystems absorb water into the soil which replenishes groundwater: https://www.nrdc.org/experts/lara-bryant/organic-matter-can-improve-your-soils-water-holding-capacity
Plants sequester carbon and put it underground: https://amazingcarbon.com/PDF/JONES-LiquidCarbonPathway(July08).pdf
Sequestered carbon can stay underground for hundreds of years: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/terra-preta

Marine ecosystems seed clouds: https://www.publish.csiro.au/EN/pdf/EN07080
Marine ecosystems sequester carbon in the form of shells: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2017.0891
Tree-planting based on large quantitative targets can backfire: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10661-018-7131-3
