CONTENTS Section 4: Global Biogeochemical Cycles Nutrient Cycling SimUText 2022-2023 Primary Production Submit Q4.23. Some researchers have hypothesized that the feedback loop pictured below influences the carbon dynamics of Arctic ecosystems as follows: Elevated atmospheric CO₂ levels cause the climate to warm, thawing permafrost. Nitrogen mineralization is then stimulated as thawed permafrost decomposes. The resulting increase in soil ammonium then stimulates primary production, which pulls CO₂ from the air. What kind of feedback is described? Temperature-Mineralization Feedback 22/23 + CO₂ Level N- Mineralization + Temperature + A positive feedback that amplifies the initial change A negative feedback that dampens the initial change A feedback that probably dominated pre-industrial carbon cycling A feedback that will not affect climate change forecasts NOTES QUESTIONS
Q3.24. Nutrient retention is an important concept that is often used to help understand and mitigate human-caused changes to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. How would a scientist describe nutrient retention? Use the dropdowns below to complete your answer. Nutrient retention is a measure of how effectively a system limits ◆. When nutrients are retained by a system, they Reset are always stored in the system may be lost to the atmosphere Use the following information for the last question.

Matter is continually recycled between abiotic and biotic components of Earth's ecosystem in biogeochemical cycles. the various cycles differ from one another in several key aspects of their storage, conversion and modes of transport. A. Describe the critical processes by which nitrogen is cycled through the biotic and abiotic components of earth’s atmosphere and identify the primary storage sink for nitrogen

estimate the total primary production in the oceans (in million metric tons carbon) using the following information - 92% of oceans are open ocen with an average productivity of 125 gC/m2/yr - 8% of the oceans are coastal, with an average productivity of 2,000 gC/m2/yr - remember a metric ton is 1,000 Kg
