Study Notes

Biogeochemical Cycles Summary

Biogeochemical cycles move and transform essential elements in nature.

Carbon Cycle

Carbon moves between air, organisms, and soil.
Plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis to create carbohydrates.
Animals obtain carbon by consuming plants.
Organisms release carbon back into the soil when they die.

Water Cycle

Water circulates through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
The sun heats water bodies, causing evaporation.
Vapor cools and forms clouds, which then produce rain or snow.

Nitrogen Cycle

Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by bacteria into usable forms (e.g., nitrate) for plants.
Animals obtain nitrogen by consuming plants.
Decomposition and waste release nitrogen back to the soil.

Phosphorus Cycle

Phosphorus is found in rocks and minerals.
Plants absorb phosphorus from the soil.
When plants die, phosphorus returns to the soil.
Phosphorus is essential for life, but its scarcity can limit plant growth.
These cycles maintain ecosystem balance and are vital for life on Earth.
