
Matter is neither created nor destroyed

There is the same amount of matter on
the planet now as was here when Earth
was formed
WE HAVE TO
RECYCLE
MATTER!!
BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES

Biological and geochemical processes
CYCLE nutrients between organic/biotic
and inorganic/abiotic parts of the
ecosystem.
