The phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen cycles are termed biogeochemical cycles- bio meaning "living"; geo for the earth (soil); and chemical referring to matter changing form. Explain why this term is appropriate. (I need a short answer)
The term "biogeochemical cycles" is appropriate because it reflects the interconnectedness of living organisms (bio), the Earth's soil and environment (geo), and the transformation of matter (chemical) as it cycles through the ecosystem.
