Biogeochemical cycles describe the transformation and movement of chemical substances in a global context. Our goal has been to provide a comprehensive treatment under one cover so that the components are integrated and the need for additional reading is reduced. This includes appropriate subdisciplines of chemistry, biology, geology, and the sciences that deal with soils, atmospheres, and oceans.
