Fast carbon cycle showing the movement of carbon between land, atmosphere, and oceans of carbon between land, atmosphere, and ocean in billions of tons (gigatons) per year.
Yellow numbers are natural fluxes,
red are human contributions,
white are stored carbon.
The effects of the slow carbon cycle,
such as volcanic and tectonic activity
are not included.
.
*the carbon cycle is the ‘bio-geo-chemical cycle’ by which carbon is exchanged among the [‘bio-sphere’ / ‘pedo-sphere’ / ‘geo-sphere’ / ‘hydro-sphere’ / ‘atmo-sphere’] of the ‘earth’*
.
(along with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle, the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that are key to make the Earth capable of sustaining life;
it describes the movement of carbon as it is recycled and reused throughout the biosphere, including ‘carbon sinks’)
(the global carbon budget is the balance of the exchanges (incomes and losses) of carbon between the carbon reservoirs or between one specific loop (e.g., atmosphere <-> biosphere) of the ‘carbon cycle’)
(an examination of the carbon budget of a pool or reservoir can provide information about whether the pool or reservoir is functioning as a source or sink for ‘carbon dioxide’)
.
(the ‘carbon cycle’ was initially discovered by ‘joseph priestley’ + ‘antoine lavoisier’, and popularized by ‘humphry davy’)
