MATTER CYCLING IN ECOSYSTEMS
• Nutrient Cycles = Global Recycling
– Nutrients are the elements & compounds that organisms need for life
– Cycles substances through air, water, soil, rock and living organisms.

The Water Cycle

Effects of Human Activities on Water Cycle
• We alter the water cycle by:– Withdrawing large amounts of freshwater.– Clearing vegetation and eroding soils.– Polluting surface and underground water.– Contributing to climate change.

CARBON CYCLE

Effects of Human Activities on Carbon Cycle
• excess CO2 to the atmosphere
– Burning fossil fuels– Clearing vegetation
faster than it is replaced.

Nitrogen Cycle- Bacteria in Action

Effects of Human Activities on the Nitrogen Cycle
– Adding gases that contribute to acid rain.– Adding nitrous oxide to the atmosphere
through farming practices which can warm the atmosphere and deplete ozone.
– Contaminating ground water from inorganic fertilizers.
– Releasing via deforestation.

Effects of Human Activities on the Nitrogen Cycle
• Human activities such as production of fertilizers now fix more nitrogen than all natural sources combined.

The Phosphorous Cycle
![Page 11: Fig. 3-7, p. 55 Nitrogen cycle Biosphere Heat in the environment Phosphorus cycle Carbon cycle Oxygen cycle Water cycle Ecological Cycles](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e735503460f94b72fc2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Effects of Human Activities on the Phosphorous Cycle
• We remove large amounts of phosphate from the earth to make fertilizer.
• We reduce phosphorous in tropical soils by clearing forests.
• We add excess phosphates to aquatic systems from runoff of animal wastes and fertilizers.

The Sulfur Cycle
![Page 13: Fig. 3-7, p. 55 Nitrogen cycle Biosphere Heat in the environment Phosphorus cycle Carbon cycle Oxygen cycle Water cycle Ecological Cycles](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e735503460f94b72fc2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Effects of Human Activities on the Sulfur Cycle
• We add sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere by:– Burning coal and oil– Refining sulfur containing petroleum.– Convert sulfur-containing metallic ores into
free metals such as copper, lead, and zinc releasing sulfur dioxide into the environment.
