 Cycle of Carbon

The carbón element is vital

for all the organisms,
circulates continously in the
terrestrial ecosystem.
In the atmosphere exist in form of
carbón dioxide, that is used for
the plants in te photosynthesis.
Animals use the oxygen that comes
from the photosynthesis and then
discard carbón dioxide to the
atmosphere again.
 Part of the carbón dissapears
temporarily from the cycle in form
of coal, oil, fossil fuels, gas, and
limestone deposits. The respitation
and photosynthesis keep the
amount of atmospheric carbón
stable.
 The industry contributes to the
accumulation of carbón dioxide in the
atmosphere.
The decaying organic matter is
also a source of carbón, for
example the tree leaf and dead
animals.
The carbón cycle is very important
and the good decisions of people
and comunity allow a sustainable
development.
The alteration of a biogeochemical
cycle brakes the balance in the
ecosystem
The carbon cycle is outlined in the
next side. We have a carbón cycle
scheme
