Domain-specific¶
- Biogeochemical Cycling
- Carbon cycle — atmospheric CO₂ ↔ ocean dissolved inorganic carbon ↔ marine and terrestrial biota ↔ sediment ↔ rock, with photosynthesis-respiration the fast bottleneck and silicate weathering the geological one; anthropogenic emissions at roughly a hundred times the natural volcanic flux drive the canonical sink-saturation problem. Nitrogen cycle — atmospheric N₂ ↔ soil and water ammonium/nitrate ↔ tissue ↔ N₂O, with biological N₂ fixation the natural bottleneck, now near-doubled by Haber-Bosch and cascading surplus nitrogen into systemic eutrophication. Phosphorus cycle — rock weathering → soil → biota → sediment → rock, with no atmospheric phase and geological uplift the bottleneck, so mining-driven mobilization runs essentially one-way from sedimentary reserves to surface waters. Sulfur cycle — volcanic and biogenic emissions ↔ atmosphere ↔ rainfall ↔ sediment, the cycle whose industrial SO₂ flux perturbation produces regional acid deposition and a global aerosol-cooling effect
This sourceThe radiative-forcing case that anthropogenic sulfate aerosol cools the planet by roughly 1 to 2 watts per square metre, through direct scattering and through brighter clouds.
