Nutrient cycles, also known as biogeochemical cycles, describe the movement of chemical elements through different sources and processes, such as the atmosphere, soil, rocks, bodies of water, and organisms. Nutrient cycles keep essential elements available to plants and other living organisms. The cycling of these elements is critical to maintaining life on Earth. The carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the water cycle all have important phases. The phosphorus cycle lacks a true atmospheric phase, and is slow and depends on gravitational cycling.
