Biogeochemical cycles are also known as
Sedimentary cycles
Gaseous cycles
Material cycling
Cyycles of water
In one year, one hectare of forest shall
Consume 10 tonnes of CO2 and evolve 10 tonnes of O2
Consume 20 tonnes of CO2 and evolve 10 tonnes of O2
Consume 30 tonnes of CO2 and evolve 30 tonnes of O2
The combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation have caused the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide to increase by about 35% since the beginning of the age of industrialization. Hence consumption of carbon dioxide will increase every year.
A logical sequence of carbon cycle is
Producer-Consumer-Decomposer
Decomposer-Producer-Decomposer
Consumer-Producer-Consumer
Producer-Decomposer-Consumer
