Biogeochemical cycles in the movement of nutrients and other elements between living and non-living beings. Carbon and Nitrogen in the environment just keep moving around living and non-living beings. The matter on Earth is conserved and is either Biotic or Abiotic. The biotic part is called the Biosphere and the nutrients we need for living is –
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Phosphorus and
Sulphur
Which can be better remembered as “CHNOPS.”
Abiotic factors consists of
Atmosphere
Hydrosphere and
Lithosphere
The study of Biogeochemical cycles is all about how these nutrients move between the living and non-living. Let’s break the word –
Biogeochemical = Biological Chemical + Geological Process
