biogeoquímica
Biogeoquímica is the scientific study of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that control the transport and transformation of chemical elements and their compounds in the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soils. It bridges the disciplines of biology, geology, and chemistry to understand the cycling of elements through these different Earth systems. Key elements studied include carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and oxygen, as well as trace metals.
The field investigates how living organisms, geological processes, and chemical reactions interact to move these elements
Understanding biogeochemical cycles is crucial for comprehending a wide range of environmental phenomena. This includes climate
