Nutrient+Cycles

Water Cycle


 * Nutrient Cycling:** Soil nutrients come from the breakdown of minerals and organic matter, which come from the decomposition of plants and animals. Nutrients that the plants recieve are stored in its leaves, stems and flowers. These fall off of the plants and decompose, and eventually part of the soil due to rain and worms.


 * Nitrogen Cycle:** Process in which nitrogen is converted between its chemical forms. Parts of the cycle are fixation (nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted to ammonia), mineralization, nitrification (becomes nitrates), denitrification (nitrate reduction that produces ni


 * Carbon Cycle:** The carbon cycle is the cycle where carbon goes through the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
