1 Cycling of matter Matter- anything that takes up space and has mass Nutrient- chemical substance that an organism must get from its environment to survive Biogeochemical cycle- the exchange of matter through the biosphere

2 Precipitation Runoff Percolation Evaporation Transpiration Condensation Water Cycle

3 Carbon Cycle C02 in atmosphere Photosynthesis Consumption C02 in atmosphere Respiration Deposition of dead material Fossilization Mining Combustion Diffusion

5 Carbon Cycle C02 in atmosphere Photosynthesis C02 in atmosphere Deposition of dead material Fossilization Mining Combustion

6 Nitrogen Cycle Precipitation Runoff Consumption Organic Residue Organic Matter Ammonium (NH 4 ) Nitrites (NO 2 ) Nitrification Nitrates (NO 3 ) Leaching Denitrification Plant Consumption

7 Phosphorous Cycle Phosphate rocks Phosphate in soil Weathering Plant and Animal waste Decomposers Mining Runoff and Leaching Dissolved in water Deposition of dead material Geological uplift
