Question
Chapter 57.4, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism because of, which the nitrogen cycle is dominated by biological processes whereas the phosphorus and sulfur cycles are dominated by geochemical processes.
Introduction:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere has increased many folds past few years. An increase in the concentration has led to the global warming and death of many of the aquatic life forms as well. The elevated temperature of the earth due to CO2 is becoming a problem for many of the species who thrive in cold climates.
