Organize these steps and traits into the right cycles

Groups:

(a) Phosphorus Cycle

,

(b) Hydrologic Cycle

,

(c) Nitrogen Cycle

,

(d) Carbon Cycle

• _______ fixation

• No atmospheric component

• Infiltration

• Two rates

• Human Impact is the burning of FFS

• Slowest Cycle

• Element is the limiting factor in undisturbed ecosystems

• Percolation

• Photosynthesis

• assimilation

• ammonification

• Exchange

• denitrification

• Excretion & Decomposition

• Sedimentation

• Main element is scarce in aquatic biomes

• Transpiration

• Weathering

• Human Impact is overdraft/use

• Cellular Respiration

Nitrogen Fixation

• N2 being converted into a useable version for plants/animals

• NH3 converted into NO2- and then NO3

• The conversion of NO3 into N2O which returns to the atmosphere

• The constant dissolving of NO2 when moved to and from the atmosphere and ocean
