BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES

Page 3: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

‘Fundamentals’ of biogeochemical cycles

• All matter cycles...it is neither created nor destroyed...

• As the Earth is essentially a closed system with respect to matter, we can say that all matter on Earth cycles .

• Biogeochemical cycles: the movement (or cycling) of matter through a system

Page 4: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

by matter we mean: elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) or molecules (water)

so the movement of matter (for example carbon) between these parts of the system is, practically speaking, a biogeochemical cycle

The Cycling Elements:

macronutrients : required in relatively large amounts

"big six": carbon , hydrogen , oxygen , nitrogen , phosphorous sulfur

Page 5: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

other macronutrients:

potassium , calcium , iron , magnesium

micronutrients : required in very small amounts, (but still necessary)

boron (green plants) copper (some enzymes) molybdenum (nitrogen-fixing bacteria)

HUMAN IMPACTS TO WATER CYCLE

1. Water withdrawal from streams, lakes and groundwater. (salt water intrusion and groundwater depletion)

2. Clear vegetation from land for agriculture, mining, road and building construction. (nonpoint source runoff carrying pollutants and reduced recharge of groundwater)

3. Degrade water quality by adding nutrients(NO2, NO3, PO4) and destroying wetlands (natural filters).

4. Degrade water clarity by clearing vegetation and increasing soil erosion.

Carbon

Sources of Carbon from Human Activity

•Death of plants and animals•Animal waste•Atmospheric CO2•Weathering•Methane gas from cows (and other ruminants)•Aerobic respiration from terrestrial and aquatic life

•Burning wood or forests•Cars, trucks, planes•Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas to produce heat and energy.

Page 19: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Carbon in Oceans• Additional carbon is stored in the ocean.

• Many animals pull carbon from water to use in shells, etc.

• Animals die and carbon substances are deposited at the bottom of the ocean.

• Oceans contain earth’s largest store of carbon.

Roles of Nitrogen

• Plants and bacteria use nitrogen in the form of NH4

+ or NO3-

• It serves as an electron acceptor in anaerobic environment

• Nitrogen is often the most limiting nutrient in soil and water.

Page 29: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Nitrogen is a key element for

• amino acids• nucleic acids (purine, pyrimidine) • cell wall components of bacteria

(NAM).

Page 30: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Mineralization or Ammonification

• Decomposers: earthworms, termites, slugs, snails, bacteria, and fungi

• Uses extracellular enzymes initiate degradation of plant polymers

• Microorganisms uses:• Proteases, lysozymes, nucleases to

degrade nitrogen containing molecules

Page 35: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

• Plants die or bacterial cells lyse release of organic nitrogen

• Organic nitrogen is converted to inorganic nitrogen (NH3)

• When pH<7.5, converted rapidly to NH4

• Example:

Urea NH3 + 2 CO2

Page 36: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Immobilization

• The opposite of mineralization• Happens when nitrogen is limiting in the

environment• Nitrogen limitation is governed by C/N

ratio• C/N typical for soil microbial biomass is

20• C/N < 20 Mineralization• C/N > 20 Immobilization

HUMAN IMPACTS TO PHOSPHOROUS CYCLE

1. Humans mine LARGE quantities of phosphate rock to use in commercial fertilizers and detergents. Phosphorous is NOT found as a gas, only as a solid in the earth’s crust. It takes millions to hundreds of millions of years to replenish.

2. Phosphorous is held in the tissue of the trees and vegetation, not in the soil and as we deforest the land, we remove the ability for phosphorous to replenish globally in ecosystems.

3. Cultural eutrophication – ad excess phosphate to aquatic ecosystems in runoff of animal wastes from livestock feedlots, runoff of commercial phosphate fertilizers fro cropland, and discharge of municipal sewage.

Page 58: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

IMPORTANCE OF PHOSPHOROUS CYCLE

• 1.Phosphorous is an essential nutrient of both plants and animals.

• 2. It is part of DNA molecules which carry genetic information.

• 3. It is part of ATP and ADP) that store chemical energy for use by organisms in cellular respiration.

• 4. Forms phospholipids in cell membranes of plants and animal cells.

• 5. Forms bones, teeth, and shells of animals as calcium phosphate compounds.

HUMAN IMPACTS TO SULFUR CYCLE

Approximately 1/3 of all sulfur emitted into atmosphere comes from human activities.

• 1. Burning sulfur containing coal and oil to produce electric power (SOx = acid deposition).

• 2. Refining petroleum – (SOx emissions)• 3. Smelting to convert sulfur compounds of

metallic minerals into free metals (Cu, Pb, Zn)• 4. Industrial processing.

Page 61: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

IMPORTANCE OF SULFUR CYCLE

1. Sulfur is a component of most proteins and some vitamins.

2. Sulfate ions (SO4 2- ) dissolved in water are common in plant tissue. They are part of sulfur-containing amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins.

3. Sulfur bonds give the three dimensional structure of amino acids.

4. Many animals, including humans, depend on plants for sulfur-containing amino acids.

Page 64: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis: occurs within the chloroplasts of green plants. The photosynthetic membranes are arranged in flattened sacs called the thylakoids.

6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O light

Function: Chemical energy

Storage for cell use

Page 65: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

CELLULAR RESPIRATIONCellular Respiration occurs in light simultaneously with photosynthesis. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.

It is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis.

Function = chemical energy release

Page 66: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Primary Productivity Connection

• Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) – the rate at which an ecosystem’s producers capture and store a given amount of chemical energy as biomass in a given period of time.

• Net Primary Productivity (NPP) – the rate at which all the plants in an ecosystem produce net useful energy; equal to the difference between energy produced through photosynthesis and energy used for cellular respiration.

CULTURAL EUTROPHICATION

Page 73: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

Cultural Eutrophication & Anoxia

• Eutrophication: natural process; over 1000’s of years, lakes fill in with sediment, become marshes then dry land

• Cultural Eutrophication: same process, but speeded enormously by loading with “limiting nutrients” (typically P, sometimes N)

• Problems associated with cultural eutrophication– Algal blooms – Water anoxia

Page 74: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

ROCK CYCLE

Page 75: Anton Cwik, Ethan Sox Per. 4 BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES.

HUMAN IMPACTS ON THE ROCK CYCLE

• 1. Humans are excavating minerals and removing rock material. It takes millions of years for rock to form.

• 2. Humans remove sediments for building materials. This removes sediments that may form sedimentary rocks in the future.

• 3. Humans are filling in wetlands (peatlands), area that will form future coal beds.
