The biogeochemical cycles on Earth connect the energy and molecules on the planet into continuous loops that support life. The basic building blocks of life like water, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorous are recycled and go back into their respective cycles repeatedly.

Where does biogeochemical cycling occur?

In ecology and Earth science, a biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a chemical substance is turned over or moves through the biotic (biosphere) and the abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) compartments of Earth.

What are the 4 biogeochemical cycles explain each cycle?

Some of the major biogeochemical cycles are as follows: (1) Water Cycle or Hydrologic Cycle (2) Carbon-Cycle (3) Nitrogen Cycle (4) Oxygen Cycle. The producers of an ecosystem take up several basic inorganic nutrients from their non-living environment. These materials get transformed into the bio mass of the producers.
