Why are nutrient cycles in nature called biogeochemical cycles?
Answer the following: a. What is a nutrient cycle? b. What are the different types of nutrient cycles, and describe each briefly. c. What is the importance of the different nutrient cycles on Earth?
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
