Biogeochemical Cycles - how the nutrients move between the living and non living

Carbon and Nitrogne moves around


Matter is conserved, biotic (biosphere, CHNOPS)
abitioc (atmosphere, hydrosphere,lithosphere),
>water cycle
>carbon cycle
>nitrogen cycle
>phosphorus cycle
bitrogen and phosphorus is limiting nutrients (life really needs them) which leads
to eutrophication.
Everythingin the planet is conserved.
nutrient that life needs - CHNOPS
c- built of macromolecules, carbon is the building block
ho - water and oxygen relase and transfer energy
nand s - components of proteins that makes us up
p-found in dna rna atp

energy flow in ecosystems


Tertiary Consumers
Secondary consumers
primary consumers
producers - produces food and make energy usable comes from sun/chemicals and use
phtosynthesis or chemosynthies and respires it (GPP-overall OR NPP)
energy source

energectics- how energy get something from the sun into organisms using
photosynthesis
energy + 6co2+6h2o>c6h12o6+6o2
chemosynthesis - hydrothermal vents produces heat and sulfide and makes glucose
water and sulfur.
eocsystem productivity - 99% consumers, GrossPrimaryProductivity (the amount the
plant actualy gets which is 1%)
NPP - 40% amount that the plant gets if we subtract the amount in respiration 60%.
producers 100%-primary consumers 10%>secondary consumers 1%>0.1% tertiary consumers
Silver SPrings Florida (20,810 kcal/m2 per year)3368,383,21
biomass pyramid - how much material is made, measured in standing crop

Keystone species - species that has a huge impact in the environment but has low
population numbers, large influence on its environment relative to its population.
keystone species move in an ecosystem may cause a collapse
Indicator speices -indicate the health of an environment by observing its
population, whetrher absent or presnt tells scientist in what going on in the
ecosystem.
