    Human Impact on the CarbonNitrogen‚ and Phosphorus Cycles Danielle Abbadusky Everest University Human impact on the cycling matter in ecosystems can change a lot of things. Humans can either help or hurt things. The carbonnitrogen and phosphorus cycles are the three cycles of matter in ecosystems. What are these cycles? How do humans effect each one of these individual cycles? What are some examples of humans effecting these cycles? What is the carbon cycle? “Sequence of processes through

    How humans impact the Carbonphosphorus‚ and nitrogen cycles” Christine Richardson Environmental Science May 1‚ 2013 The carbon cycle is based on carbon dioxide which is a very important element because it is a part of all life. All living things are made of elements such as oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ calcium‚ and phosphorus. There are such compounds that are necessary for life such as sugars‚ fats‚ proteins etc. that joins with carbon to form these essential

    CarbonPhosphorus‚ and Nitrogen Cycles By: Amy Gentry There are three importation cycles that the environment. The three cycles are carbonphosphorus and nitrogen cycles. These cycles are part of photosynthesis. These are a chain that keeps everything going in the word. These cycles keep animal alive and plants and people breathing. Carbon cycle is an Importation one of the cycle on earth. You get carbon atoms from co2 then become carbon atoms of the organic molecules are making up the plant

    Humans have been around for millions of years‚ and they have impact each of the cycles in many ways. The carbon cycle humans have impact the most. By burning fossil fuels we have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by at least 35%. (Boorse‚ 2011). The impact that humans have had on this cycle has change many different elements of the natural environment. An example is the ozone layer is slowly being thinned out‚ which in turn is heating up the atmosphere of the earth. The thinning of the ozone

    CarbonPhosphorus and Nitrogen Cycles Humans have a great impact on each of the CarbonPhosphorus‚ and Nitrogen cycles in the Ecosystem. The carbon cycle starts with the reservoir of the carbon dioxide in the air‚ the carbon atoms move from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis into atoms of organic molecules that form the plants body. These carbon atoms are then further metabolized and are eaten and turned into tissue that all organisms in the ecosystem use. Half of the atoms are respired

    Nitrogen cycle A simple and complete diagram of the nitrogen cycle. The blue boxes represent stores of nitrogen‚ the green writing is for processes that occur to move the nitrogen from one place to another and the red writing are all the bacteria involved. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation

    The Processes of the nitrogen cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" (see page on nitrogen fixation)‚ in order to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Some nitrogen fixing bacteria‚ such

    Human are the ones putting a huge impact on the carbon cycle. Humans are tearing apart important animal territory. they are tearing down trees and moving plants‚ in order to add house‚ expand and make buisneses. Since they are expanding the area and then bringing in more humans in return we use more of our fossil fuels increasing the carbon dioxide into the air. For example just recently near my house the were adding on to the hospital. That involves clearing out acres and acres of land just

    Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen gas is a colourless‚ odourless and non-toxic gas which makes up about 78 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is extremely important to living material; in fact plants‚ animals and humans could not live without it. Sprent (1987) argued that nitrogen cycle is the most important process to living organisms after the carbon cycle. But nitrogen exists as dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere‚ which living things‚ particularly plants‚ cannot synthesize (citation) The process of nitrogen
