Thecarbon cycleis thebiogeochemicalcycle by which carbon is exchanged among thebiosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphereof the Earth. Carbon is the main component ofbiological compoundsas well as a major component of manymineralssuch as limestone. Along with the nitrogen cycle and ...
Biosphere - Carbon Cycle, Ecosystems, Atmosphere: Life is built on the conversion of carbon dioxide into the carbon-based organic compounds of living organisms. The carbon cycle illustrates the central importance of carbon in the biosphere. Different pat
Carbon cycle: The carbon cycle refers to the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere (which usually includes animals, plants and bacteria), geosphere (soil and soil bacteria), hydrosphere (which includes dissolved inorganic carbon and living and non-living marine biota...

Although more than 80% of carbon dioxide emissions originate in urban areas, the role of human settlements in the biosphere evolution and in global carbon cycling remains largely neglected. Understanding the relationships between the form and pattern of urban development and the carbon cycle is howeve...
We need to let the long-term cycle do its job and hang onto its share of carbon. This brings us to the “good” CO2: using carbon that is already part of the short-term cycle and that is naturally circulating between the biosphere and atmosphere. Imagine there were no humans on ...

The recent warming in the Arctic is affecting a broad spectrum of physical, ecological, and human/cultural systems that may be irreversible on century time scales and have the potential to cause rapid changes in the earth system. The response of the carbon cycle of the Arctic to changes in ...
