C, N, P, S Global Biogeochemical Cycles and Modeling of Global Change

  • Conference paper
Interactions of C, N, P and S Biogeochemical Cycles and Global Change

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 4))

Abstract

During the last two decades, the global biogeochemical cycles of elements have been investigated in considerable detail (see Bibliography). Much effort has been invested in the carbon cycle, nutrient cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus, and in the sulfur cycle. Interest in these cycles and others, like those of trace metals, has been heightened by problems associated with global, regional and local environmental problems. These problems (Table 1) result in part from increased fluxes of C, N, P and S compounds into the natural biogeochemical cycles of these elements because of the activities of humankind.
