What is a biogeochemical cycle?

Question

Emilia Aguirre · Accepted Answer

A biogeochemical cycle is a cycle of a matter (such as nitrogen or phosphorus) in the environment.

A biogeochemical cycle include compartments (in water, in lithosphere, in atmosphere), forms (gas, adsorbed, soluble, etc.) and life span of materials (e.g. nitrogen or phosphorus).

Aubrey Arnold · Answer

undefined A biogeochemical cycle is a pathway through which chemical elements or molecules move through the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components of an ecosystem. These cycles involve processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and nutrient cycling, and they play a crucial role in regulating the distribution and availability of essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water within ecosystems.

undefined A biogeochemical cycle is a pathway through which chemical elements or molecules move through biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components of an ecosystem. These cycles involve the exchange of nutrients and elements between living organisms, the atmosphere, soil, water bodies, and geological formations. Examples of biogeochemical cycles include the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, and water cycle.
