What Are The Biogeochemical Cycles & How Do They Work? GEO GIRL
This is a follow up video to last week's 'What is Biogeochemistry' video: • Biogeochemistry Basics Fundamental to Eart... , so check that out first if you want a recap on biogeochem and why it is important field to study! In this video, we cover the major global biogechemical cycles, including the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous cycles, the factors that affect these cycles, and how perturbations in these cycles can cause major global climate and environmental change. Hope you enjoy! ;D 0:00 What are the biogeochemical cycles? 3:12 Carbon (& oxygen) cycle 12:50 Remaining cycles 13:51 Nitrogen cycle 15:44 Sulfur cycle 20:32 Phosphorous cycle 24:28 Importance of these cycles!
