Biogeochemical interdependence

In long-term evolutionary scales, humans now have the abilities to intervene rapidly in this interdependent relationship and alter the stability of the rates of metabolism of organic matter. For example, reduction of ozone in the stratosphere and associated increased UV irradiance could lead to accelerated photolytic degradation of macromolecules of DOM by both abiotic and biotic pathways to C02. In addition, the photolytic enhancement of substrates for bacterial metabolism by UV photolysis can result in accelerated rates of biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and stimulated... 

By focusing on a molecular elucidation of key biochemical processes in the marine biogeochemical cycles of elements, marine bioinorganic chemistry should help us understand the subtle and complex interdependence of marine life and ocean geochemistry, and how they have evolved together over the history of the Earth. 

Apparently, there are many studies about the distribution, content, transfer, and transformation of carbon in sediment or soil to be performed. As one of three interdependent basic links in sediment (including soil-water-atmosphere systems), marine sediment plays an important role in oceanic or global environments. From now on, more attention should be paid to research into the functions of sediments in carbon biogeochemical cycles (Sun and Song, 2002).
