Biogeochemical Cycles
pgs 186-198
![Page 8: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Biogeochemical Cycles
• All nutrients move through ecosystems by various processes, known collectively as biogeochemical cycles.
• The most important biogeochemical cycles include:
– Hydrologic cycle– Hydrologic cycle
– Carbon cycle
– Nitrogen cycle
– Phosphorus Cycle
![Page 9: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Hydrologic Cycle
• Water is vital to life on earth and is involved in
nearly every ecosystem and biogeochemical
cycle.
• The Hydrologic Cycle describes how water
moves through an ecosystem.moves through an ecosystem.
• The movement of water is dependent upon
chemical changes which allow it to be either a
solid, liquid or gas.
![Page 10: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Evaporation and Transpiration
• Most water on earth is found within reservoirs
(such as the ocean).
• Liquid water moves from these reservoirs into
the atmosphere (in gaseous form) through the
process of evaporation.
![Page 12: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Evaporation and Transpiration
• Evaporation rates are increased with
- high temperatures
- high winds
- greater exposure (cleared areas)
![Page 13: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Evaporation and Transpiration
• Water also enters the atmosphere through the
process of transpiration – the release of water
vapor by plants through their leaves.
![Page 14: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Precipitation and Runoff
• Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses to
form clouds – eventually coming back to earth
in the form of precipitation.
![Page 15: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Precipitation and Runoff
• Some precipitation is taken up by plants or
used by animals, but much of it flows as
runoff into streams, rivers, etc. – eventually
reaching the ocean again.
![Page 16: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Groundwater
• Water from aquifers reenters the hydrologic
cycle as humans extract water for drinking or
as water tables rise to the surface, allowing
water to be evaporated or to runoff into larger
sources.
![Page 17: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The Phosphorus Cycle
• Phosphorus is an important nutrient, making
up a key component of cell membranes and
found in such important molecules as DNA,
RNA, ATP and ADP.
![Page 25: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Phosphorus Cycle
• Although phosphorus is required for life
processes, this nutrient is found mostly
outside the body: in rocks, soil and the ocean.
![Page 26: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Phosphorus Cycle
• Unlike the other biogeochemical cycles (water,
nitrogen and carbon), this cycle has no
appreciable atmospheric component.
• The only time phosphorus enters the
atmosphere is if the wind carries the nutrients atmosphere is if the wind carries the nutrients
from one area to another.
![Page 27: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Step 1: Weathering
• The vast majority of the earth’s phosphorus is
in the form of rock and is released by
weathering.
• Phosphate ions (PO43-) are
released by weathering released by weathering
and enter water systems.
![Page 29: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Step 2: Dissolving
• Phosphate ions that enter lakes or oceans
settle to the bottom to form sediment – the
precursor to more rock.
![Page 30: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lack of Phosphorus
• Because most phosphorus is found in rock,
there is very little environmental
concentrations available to organisms.
• This explains why phosphorus
is frequently a limiting factoris frequently a limiting factor
for plant growth (and why it
is included in most fertilizers).
![Page 31: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 3: Phosphorus in Living Things
• Plants take up phosphorus through their roots only when phosphates are dissolved in water.
• Primary consumers acquire phosphorus from water and plants, passing it on to secondary and tertiary consumers.
• Phosphorus is passed out of living things • Phosphorus is passed out of living things through the excretion of waste – decomposers break down the waste, returning the phosphorus to the soil.

Human Affects on the Phosphorus Cycle
• Humans influence the P-cycle by:
– Mining for phosphorus from rocks
– Applying phosphorus to lawns, crops in fertilizers
– Wastewater is rich in phosphates
– Most detergents are high in phosphates
• Excess phosphates entering waterways can
lead to eutrophication, altering aquatic
ecosystems.

The Carbon Cycle
• All living things on earth are carbon-based;
this element can be found in carbohydrates,
fats and proteins.
• Carbon can be found all around us – from
fossil fuels to DNA to plastic. fossil fuels to DNA to plastic.
![Page 42: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Step 1 - Photosynthesis
• Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is used by
plants to create sugar (glucose) through the
process of photosynthesis.
![Page 43: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Step 2 – Respiration
• Cellular respiration is used by all organisms
(including autotrophs) to create ATP from
sugar. This process releases carbon dioxide
back into the atmosphere.
![Page 44: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Photo and Resp• Photosynthesis and Respiration make their
own cycle – each producing products that the
other process needs to begin.
![Page 45: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Carbon Storage • Some carbon used by organisms is stored
within that organism, incorporated into its
tissues.
• Plants take in much carbon dioxide for
photosynthesis – making autotrophs a major
carbon reservoir. carbon reservoir.
![Page 46: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Carbon Storage • Some carbon used by organisms is stored
within that organism, incorporated into its tissues.
• Plants take in much carbon dioxide for photosynthesis – making autotrophs a major carbon reservoir. carbon reservoir.
• Because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it is even more important that major tracts of trees and plants remain undisturbed as they have the capability of deflating the effects of global warming.
![Page 47: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Carbon Storage • Sedimentary rock is the largest carbon
reservoir on earth.
• As organisms die, they become sediments
which, over long periods of heat and pressure,
can be transformed into carbon containing
rock (such as coal and limestone). rock (such as coal and limestone).
![Page 48: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Carbon Storage • Carbon molecules in the atmosphere spend a
relatively short time there; carbon molecules
trapped in rock may reside there for millions
of years.
• The burning of carbon-containing rocks (such
as coal) re-releases this carbon into the as coal) re-releases this carbon into the
atmosphere.
![Page 49: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Carbon Storage • Oceans represent the second biggest carbon
reservoir.
• Oceans absorb carbon-containing compounds
from the atmosphere, from terrestrial runoff
and from the waste of marine life.
![Page 50: new environment iii. The exotic species has few natural](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cc09946217650c7b4ca20a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Human Effect • An increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
has accelerated global climate change.
• Human actions can remove carbon from
reservoirs, forcing it to accumulate in the
atmosphere. These actions include:
– The burning of fossil fuels (coal, gasoline, etc.)– The burning of fossil fuels (coal, gasoline, etc.)
– Removing vegetation/forests which taken in and store
carbon dioxide.
