Marine biogeochemical cycles

Marine biogeochemical cycles refer to the processes that involve the transformation and movement of chemical elements and compounds in marine environments, including oceans, seas, and coastal regions. These cycles are crucial for understanding how life functions in the marine ecosystem, how energy is transferred between living organisms, and how nutrients and chemicals are recycled. There are several key components to marine biogeochemical cycles: 1. **Elements and Compounds**: The primary elements involved include carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and others.
