Carbon Cycle
• The process by which carbon is cycled between the atmosphere, land water, and organisms.
• Plants convert atmospheric CO2 into carbohydrates during photosynthesis and release CO2 during cellular respiration.– Ex: Elodea

Nitrogen Cycle
• A process in which nitrogen is cycled between the atmosphere, bacteria, and other organisms.– Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are bacteria that live in plant
roots and convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia.

Phosphorus Cycle
• The movement of phosphorus from the environment to organisms and then back to the environment.
• (P) rock deposits land living organisms ocean
• Rarely occurs because phosphorus as a gas rarely occurs as a gas.

Ecological Succession
• Ecological Succession– A gradual process of change and replacement of the types of species in a
community.
• Primary Succession– Occurs on a surface where no ecosystem existed before.
• Secondary Succession– Occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed.– Ex: Volcanoes – Pioneer Species - colonizes an uninhabited area and that starts an ecological cycle.
• Climax Community– The final, stable community in equilibrium with the environment.
