The correct answer is: Gaseous nutrient cycle: Carbon and Nitrogen; Sedimentary nutrient cycle: Sulphur and phosphorus

TYPES OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES:

i) Gaseous cycle:

  • The exchange of nutrients occurs in gaseous or vapour form.
  • Biogeochemical is non–mineral.
  • The reservoir pool is atmosphere or hydrosphere.
  • e.g. Nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen cycle.

ii) Sedimentary cycle:

  • Biogeochemical is mineral.
  • Reservoir pool is the earth’s crust or lithosphere.
  • e.g. sulphur and phosphorous cycle.
