Zusammenfassung

In diesem Kapitel liefern wir eine formale Definition für den Begriff Biogeochemie und zeigen auf, wie einige besonders bedeutende biogeochemische Kreisläufe durch anthropogene Einflüsse in globalem Maßstab verändert wurden. Laut Howarth (1984) befasst sich die Biogeochemie (engl. biogeochemisty) als Wissenschaft mit dem Einfluss der Biota auf die chemischen Umweltbedingungen wie auch mit dem Einfluss der geochemischen Verhältnisse auf die Struktur und Funktion von Ökosystemen.
