CIRCULATION OF SUBSTANCES IN THE ECOSYSTEM


(BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES)
1.Water cycle - the cycle of
processes by which water circulates
between the earth's oceans,
atmosphere, and land, involving
precipitation as rain and snow,
drainage in streams and rivers, and
return to the atmosphere by
evaporation and transpiration.

1. Importance
2. Sources
3. Basic processes – evaporation,
transpiration, condensation,
rain, precipitation, draining
2.Carbon cycle - the series of
processes by which carbon
compounds are interconverted in
the environment, involving the
incorporation of carbon dioxide
into living tissue by
photosynthesis and its return to the
atmosphere through respiration,
the decay of dead organisms, and
the burning of fossil fuels.

which nitrogen and its compounds are
interconverted in the environment and in

organisms, including nitrogen fixation
and decomposition.

4.Phosphorus cycle - the
movement of phosphorus in the
form of different compounds
through the Earth’s various
systems like the biosphere,
hydrosphere, and lithosphere.
