TranspirationTranspiration is the
process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere

*Excess N in soil increase N in atmosphere (acid rain)
*Changes in N levels affects biodiversity

Accelerate long-term loss from land (agriculture, waste disposal)
Fertilizers algal blooms

The Phosphorous Cycle
![Page 36: The Biogeochemical Cycles. What does that mean??? Chemicals that cycle through the geological and biological world](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070606/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b33c7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Sulfur CycleScientists still do not have a clear
understanding of this cycle.
Why do we need sulfur???
Important part of proteins and plays a role in allowing organisms to use O2
![Page 37: The Biogeochemical Cycles. What does that mean??? Chemicals that cycle through the geological and biological world](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070606/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b33c7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sulfur & OrganismsOrganisms contain a tiny fraction of SPlants absorb sulfate and assimilate into
proteinsIn the ocean, marine algae release DMS
into atmosphere (helps form clouds)Bacteria drive S cycle (especially in
environments with little oxygen)
![Page 38: The Biogeochemical Cycles. What does that mean??? Chemicals that cycle through the geological and biological world](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070606/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b33c7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Sulfur & the AtmosphereSulfur is a minor part
of the atmosphere
S compounds are reactive and therefore short-lived
Released into atmosphere by:
1. Sea Spray2. Marine Algae3. Forest Fires4. Volcanoes5. Dust Storms
![Page 39: The Biogeochemical Cycles. What does that mean??? Chemicals that cycle through the geological and biological world](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070606/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b33c7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sulfur Sinks…*Most S found in rocks

Humans & the Sulfur CycleBurning coal
releases sulfur
Leads to acid deposition & associated problems

(attracted to negative charge of soil particles)
