HUMAN ACTIVITIES & CO 2 • 1. Burning Fossil Fuels • CO 2 in atmosphere has increased 30% in past 160 years. • In the 160, 000 years before that, it only increased 1 - 3%. • Carbon is removed from longterm storage as we mine coal & drill for oil and gas. • CO 2 is also a greenhouse gas, (traps heat in atmosphere)

B. HOW NITROGEN CHANGES FORM • N 2 is not usable by plants or animals, so it has to be converted to other forms. • Rain washes nitrate into soil. (small amount) • Plants can use NO 3 - (nitrate) and NH 4+ (ammonium) • Bacteria in soil (rhizobium) & cyanobacteria in water change N 2 (nitrogen gas) into NH 4+(ammonium). 1. Nitrogen Fixation • – Lightning changes N 2 (nitrogen gas) NO 3(nitrate).

2. NITRIFICATION • This is done by nitrifying bacteria: NH 4+ (ammonium) NO 2(nitrite) NO 3(nitrate) The nitrate is what plants want. NH 4+ is useless to them.

HUMAN ACTIVITIES (CON’D) • 2. Land Clearing by burning • • acid rain is formed which contains nitric acid (HNO 3) • 3. Overfertilization NH 4+ & NO 3 - leach into soil and waterways • Huge growth in aquatic algae = eutrophication These algal blooms use up all CO 2 & O 2, block sunlight, & produce neurotoxins which poison and kill many aquatic organisms

THE PHOSPHORUS CYCLE • Phosphorus (P) facts • P is a part of the molecule that carries energy in cells (ATP) • P helps root growth, stem strength, and seed production • In animals, P is important for strong bones. • P is NOT found in the atmosphere, but in phosphate rocks (PO 43 -, HPO 42 -, H 2 PO 4 -) and sediments on the ocean floor

B. HOW PHOSPHORUS CHANGES FORM (CON’D) 2. Uptake: plants suck up PO 43 - then are eaten by animals. 3. Decomposition: Bacteria break down organic matter and P is returned to soil. 4. Geologic Uplift: When rocks (containing P) under the ground are pushed up mountains weathering.

C. HUMAN ACTIVITIES AFFECT THE PHOSPHORUS CYCLE • Mining: increases P in ecosystems quickly. • Slash-and-burn forest practices: turns P into ash, which runs in waterways.

HOW CHANGES IN NUTRIENT CYCLES AFFECT BIODIVERSITY • Any significant changes to any of these nutrients (C, H, O, N, P) can greatly impact biodiversity. 1. Carbon cycle changes climate change & global warming. 2. Too much N can allow certain plant species to out-compete other species. 3. Decreased levels of P slow growth of algae (NB producers)
