A biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a chemical element, such as carbon, or compound, like water, moves through Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere.

Researchers are discovering that biogeochemical cycles--whether the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, or others--happen in concert with one another.

What are Biogeochemical Cycles? The Water, Nitrogen and Phosphorous cycles are the most important biochemical cycles that affect the health of the ecosystem. In this article, we have discussed ...

Biogeochemical cycles describe pathways by which chemical elements move through both biotic (the biosphere) and abiotic compartments (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere) on Earth.

"Our research shows that mangroves play a central role in the global cycle of trace elements," explains Dr. Antao Xu, first author of the study from GEOMAR.

“Integrating soil viruses into existing MCP and MinCP models, namely virus-MCP and virus-MinCP, will be a landmark achievement in elucidating the role of viruses in driving biogeochemical cycles.” ...

These research avenues will contribute to a more mechanistic and predictive understanding of links between microbial dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. Owing to rapid climate change and human impacts ...

From satellite imagery to real-time environmental monitoring, we have the technology needed to reveal how coupled biogeochemical cycles shape the world and how our actions disrupt them.

The Carbon Dioxide Cycle: In the presence of sunlight, plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through their leaves. The plants combine carbon dioxide with water, which is absorbed by ...

Researchers are asking where and how they can measure change to determine if the water cycle is being pushed to the breaking point.
