词汇 biogeochemical
释义

Definition of biogeochemical in English:

biogeochemical

adjective
  • Relating to or denoting the cycle in which chemical elements and simple substances are transferred between living systems and the environment.

    生物地球化学的

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Indirect effects are feedbacks on ecosystem structure and function through many pathways, which include altered competitive relationships among species, biogeochemical cycles and carbon budgets.
    • The complex biogeochemical transformations that occur in wetlands have the ability to attenuate contaminants in runoff waters coming from a variety of human activities.
    • There can consequently be rapid changes in the bacterial community to maintain efficient processing of energy sources, and hence stable biogeochemical cycles.
    • Taken together, these analyses suggest that the ongoing disruption of climate and biogeochemical systems by humans may obscure the relationship between aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem function in the future.
    • Aquatic sediments host much of the bacterial biomass and biodiversity and play a key role in biogeochemical cycles.
    • We discuss the ecological and biogeochemical implications of these results.
    • An experimental design was set up in autumn 1997 in this stand to study the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients.
    • Alteration in catchment subsurface water balances through land-use change and pumping can affect lake biogeochemical cycles through changes in groundwater flow rates.
    • Megaphylls altered the evolutionary trajectory of terrestrial plant and animal life, the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, water and carbon dioxide and the exchange of energy between the land surface and the atmosphere.
    • The overall bacterial processing of iron is thought to play a substantial role in the biogeochemical cycling of iron in the ocean.
    • Therefore, it is important to understand the interaction of any release with the environment, particularly in relation to the biogeochemical cycles, so that any likely environmental impact can be assessed.
    • This study was conducted as part of a five-year interdisciplinary project funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate the consequences of greenhouse warming for biocomplexity and biogeochemical cycles.
    • These so-called biogeochemical cycles are linked: changes in the cycling of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are interdependent.
    • First, while the basic biogeochemical characteristics of environmental change are generally understood, there remain major uncertainties about the feedback effects on both the physical and social processes.
    • A ‘critical load of acidity’ affects the sustainability of biogeochemical cycling in the ecosystem, while a ‘critical nutrient load’ affects the biodiversity within ecosystems.
    • Thus, the surface to volume ratio should be related to silicic acid flows in size-based biogeochemical models of planktonic ecosystems.
    • Technically, this is called ‘closing the biogeochemical cycle.’
    • Chapters devoted to how the biosphere is energized and how that energy powers biogeochemical cycles follow.
    • This component of the trees is largely involved in the biogeochemical cycles in forest ecosystems, through nutrient removals at harvest and nutrient translocations throughout stand rotation.
    • Improvement of models of anthropogenic effects on estuarine food webs requires knowledge of the ecological and biogeochemical significance of the different organic matter sources among and within estuaries.

Derivatives

  • biogeochemist

  • noun
    • Braun and Pfeiffer's research sets forth ‘a circumstantial case with good chemical support;’ says Julie Bartley, a biogeochemist at the State University of West Georgia in Carrollton.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Now, this compels us to look at the situation, in a more profound way: in the way the famous Russian biogeochemist Vladimir Vernadsky, for example, broadly defined the problem.
      • At 5 km deep, the water at this site - which scientists have dubbed station ALOHA - has ocean layers that mix just as much as they do in more remote waters, says David M. Karl, a biogeochemist at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu.
      • Now, biogeochemist Andrew A. Meharg and his colleague Kenneth Killham, both of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, have shown that dioxins aren't just a modern problem.
      • Now, the simplest way to look at this is, sort of a friend of mine, Vladimir Vernadsky, the famous Russian biogeochemist, who defined what he called the ‘Noösphere.’
  • biogeochemistry

  • noun
    • Chapter Twelve, by Phillipe Van Cappellen discusses global biogeochemical cycles; as the author says, the chapter introduces concepts of these cycles and concludes with a discussion of the carbon cycle, central to biogeochemistry.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Because interactions of hydrology, geomorphology, and biology greatly complicate nitrogen cycling in estuaries, a complete understanding of the biogeochemistry of nitrogen in estuaries is lacking.
      • Up front, the authors acknowledge the importance of ‘the emergence of biogeochemistry,’ taking this to indicate that distinctions are ‘melting away’ between biological, chemical, and earth sciences.
      • Fine roots are an important source and sink for nutrients in terrestrial biogeochemistry.
      • It is biogeochemistry that lends substance to the hypothesis that Ediacaran and Cambrian faunas are separated by mass extinction.
