Biogeochemical Cycles and Our Plants

Biogeochemical Cycles and Our Plants

I noticed that our plants are continuing growing, and there are small holes in the middle of them. We assume that this is because of bugs or chickens, as our plant is in the garden area, in the sight and a close distance to the chickens. Our plant is growing outwards and spreading, getting larger, both vertically and horizontally, but its shape expanding as well. It is still green and long, kind of in a bunch, but starting to break apart, using a small amount of space in the garden bed.

Our plants participate in the movement of water in the biosphere because of transpiration, our plants give off water in the water cycle, and our plants receive water, which spreads through soil and helps both itself and other plants grow. Our plants roles in the water cycle relates to the changes that we observed in our plant because of the absorption of water from the soil, our plant has grown much larger and is occupying more and more space in the garden bed.

Our plant participates in the movement of carbon in the biosphere because of plant respiration when the plant absorbs oxygen and lets out oxygen. Along with this, photosynthesis occurs when our plant absorbs carbon dioxide and sunlight, forming and giving off oxygen. Our plants roles in the carbon cycle relates to the changes that we observed in our plant because through photosynthesis and everything our plant is receiving and giving off, our plant is growing and thriving in the process.

Our plants participate in the movement of nitrogen in the biosphere because of how our plants absorb the nitrates and then then once the nitrogen is broken down, the plant gives off nitrogen gas. The plants also decompose and break down into the soil. Our plants roles in the nitrogen cycle relates to the changes that we observed in our plant because the plant receives nitrogen and other nutrients that help the plant grow and survive.
