THE FOUR REMAINING BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE

CARBON CYCLE: The carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon through various
reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, terrestrial ecosystems, and the
lithosphere. Carbon is exchanged through processes like photosynthesis, respiration,
decomposition, and combustion. Here's a simplified illustration of the carbon cycle:

NITROGEN CYCLE: The nitrogen cycle describes how nitrogen is converted from
atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into various forms that plants and animals can use. It
includes processes such as nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, and
ammonification. Here's a simplified illustration of the nitrogen cycle:

PHOSPHORUS CYCLE: The phosphorus cycle involves the movement of phosphorus


through rocks, soil, water, and living organisms. Unlike carbon and nitrogen,
phosphorus doesn't have a significant atmospheric component. It primarily cycles
through geological processes, weathering, erosion, and the biological uptake and
release of phosphates. Here's a simplified illustration of the phosphorus cycle:

SULFUR CYCLE: The sulfur cycle outlines the movement of sulfur between the
atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Sulfur undergoes
transformations through processes like volcanic emissions, weathering of rocks, and
biological activities. Here's a simplified illustration of the sulfur cycle:
