| carbon cycle |
The natural processes that influence the exchange of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide, carbonates and organic compounds, etc.) among the atmosphere, ocean and terrestrial systems. Major components include photosynthesis, respiration and decay between atmospheric and terrestrial systems (approximately 100 gigatons/year); thermodynamic invasion and evasion between the ocean and atmosphere, operation of the carbon pump and mixing in the deep ocean (approximately 90 gigatons/year). ...
