Nutrient Cycle Review

What is happening at 1?

• respiration: releasing CO2
• decomposing CO2 in the soil
• photosynthesis: absorbing CO2
• turning CO2 from the atmosphere into organic molecules

The flow of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere would be slowed by reducing the

• amount of fertilizer applied to fields.
• number of size of forest fires
• buildup of carbonate rocks
• amount of rain water used for irrigation
