AZ401 Biogeochemical cycles

[TonyBillingsley]

Biogeochemical cycles are pathways through which essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water move through the living and non-living components of ecosystems. These cycles involve processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and weathering. They play a crucial role in regulating nutrient availability, energy flow, and the overall functioning of ecosystems. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, can disrupt biogeochemical cycles, leading to environmental imbalances and challenges such as climate change and nutrient pollution. Understanding and managing these cycles are essential for maintaining the health and sustainability of ecosystems and the planet as a whole. https://botanylive.com/biogeochemical-cycles-ppt/
