Does The Nutrient Cycles Affect The Atmosphere Of Earth?

There are many different types of nutrients in the atmosphere of Earth. Two nutrient cycles are the Carbon and Phosphate. Carbon is considered and called the “building block of life” considering that Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen make up 98% of the plant biomass. During the Carbon Cycle, Carbon enters through the biota or the total collection of organisms of a geographic region from the atmosphere. Then the Producers convert the CO2 into carbohydrates and release the O2 from the water. The Producers, Consumers and Decomposers then convert the CH2O using O2 back into CO2 and H2O. Humans however have had an effect on the carbon cycle. The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by humans is used in the carbon cycle by plants to produce oxygen. However,

Whereas during the Phosphorous Cycle(PO4-3) does not cycle through the atmosphere. The Phosphate enters the producers through the soil and cycles locally through decomposers, producers and consumers. This is due to the fact that Phosphorous is found on the Earth. However, this nutrient gradually becomes less due to runoff. So the low concentration of phosphorus in the soil reduces the plant growth. However, the quantity of these resources are rapidly declining due to human actions. The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by humans is used in the carbon cycle by plants to produce oxygen. However, with the increase of fossil fuels that are burned, a large amount of carbon dioxide is released into the air. Another action that humans are doing that is affecting the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is deforestation. Deforestation reduces the amount of plant life that can reduce the atmosphere's carbon dioxide levels. It also creates less usable soil for new plants to be grown in. Carbon dioxide also builds up due to the overuse of fossil fuels and an increasing lack of growing plants due to the increase of the population which increases the need to build more
