An ecosphere is a planetary closed ecological system. In this global ecosystem, the various forms of energy and matter that constitute a given planet interact on a continual basis. Component spheres that represent a significant portion of an ecosphere are referred to as a primary component spheres.

The biosphere includes all living organisms: plants, animals, bacteria, fungi. The ecosphere is the area where we can find ecosystems, or it can refer to a planetary ecosystem consisting of the influence of the solar system, the geosphere (the planet), the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere.

The part of the Earth system comprising all ecosystems and living organisms, in the atmosphere, on land (terrestrial biosphere) or in the oceans (marine biosphere), including derived dead organic matter, such as litter, soil organic matter and oceanic detritus.

All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Tiny atoms of carbon and nitrogen are able to move around the planet through these cycles.

: of or relating to the partitioning and cycling of chemical elements and compounds between the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem.

Human activities have greatly increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and nitrogen levels in the biosphere. Altered biogeochemical cycles combined with climate change increase the vulnerability of biodiversity, food security, human health, and water quality to a changing climate.

What are some ways that humans alter the carbon cycle? Deforestation – clearing land for farming or lumber, burning wood, removing trees, and burning of fossil fuels. It releases carbon dioxide into the air.

Biogeochemical cycles are basically divided into two types: Gaseous cycles – Includes Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and the Water cycle. Sedimentary cycles – Includes Sulphur, Phosphorus, Rock cycle, etc.

Biogeochemical cycles are pathways that chemicals take as they move between living organisms and environment. Some well-defined biogeochemical cycles include the water cycle, the carbon cycle. It is an example of a biogeochemical cycle. See also carbon flux. Biogeochemistry is the study of these cycles.

The most important biogeochemical cycles are the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, oxygen cycle, phosphorus cycle, and the water cycle. The biogeochemical cycles always have a state of equilibrium.
