The importance of carbon in biological entities results from the fact that it occurs in all organic compounds. Consequently, the carbon cycle is of extreme interest. Suggested reading on the carbon cycle is Carbon and the Biosphere, the proceedings of a symposium held at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1972 (Woodwell and Pecan, 1973).
