Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 4CYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ecological problems associated with water, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycle.
Introduction:
Chemical substances circulating through the ecosystem involves biotic and abiotic components, in a cyclic pathway,comprise the biogeochemical cycle. The chemical cycle involves a reservoir, an exchange pool, and abiotic community.

Explain the concept of renewable resources.
Think for a moment about the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus nutrient cycles. You know that
human activities have changed each of these nutrient cycles, so that now a percentage of the annual
flux is attributable to humans. Rank the nutrient cycles in order of the greatest % human interventior
to the least % human intervention.
carbon > nitrogen > phosphorus
nitrogen > phosphorus > carbon
carbon > phosphorus > nitrogen
O phosphorus > carbon > nitrogen
phosphorus > nitrogen > carbon
Describe the main abiotic reservoirs for water, carbon, nitrogen,and phosphorus.
