    This document discusses biogeochemical cycles and nutrient cycles in ecosystems. It explains that energy dissipates as heat while matter is recycled through various cycles, including the water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles. These cycles involve both biological and geological processes that transform and move nutrients and matter through living and nonliving parts of ecosystems. The availability of limiting nutrients like nitrogen in oceans or phosphorus in freshwater affects the productivity of different aquatic ecosystems.

    LESSON
    MATTER
    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Describe how matter cycles among the living and nonliving parts of an
    ecosystem.
    • Describe how water cycles through the biosphere.
    • Explain why nutrients are important in living systems.
    • Describe how the availability of nutrients affects productivity of
    ecosystems.
    RECYCLING IN THE BIOSPHERE
    What’s the importance of
    recycling?
    RECYCLING IN THE BIOSPHERE
    What’s the difference between energy and matter regarding recycling?

    Energy dissipates in the environment as heat while matter is recycled.

    Cycles of Matter
    Nutrients are recycled
    through biogeochemical
    Cycles

    As matter moves through these cycles, it is transformed,. It is

    PHOSPHORUS CYCLE
    Phosphorus is mined, turned into
    fertilizer and applied to crops,. Excess
    may wash into rivers, streams and the
    ocean as runoff.
    Geological activity
    washes phosphate from
    rocks into the ocean.

    Phosphorus is taken up by
    primary producers reused by
    consumers and released by
    excretion and decomposing
    matter.
    NUTRIENTS LIMITATION
    The nutrient whose supply
    limits productivity is called
    the limiting nutrient.
    NUTRIENTS LIMITATION IN AQUATIC
    ECOSYSTEMS
    The open oceans of the world are nutrient poor compared to many land areas.

    In the ocean and saltwater environments, nitrogen is often the limiting nutrient.

    In streams, lakes, and freshwater environments, phosphorus is typically the limiting


    nutrient.
