Document Summary

Biogeochemistry- where biologigy, chemistry and geology meet i. e biological prcesses that ipact on chemistry at a global scale most recations are done by microbes. Four laws of ecology: everything is connected, everything must go somewhere, nature knows best, theres no such thing as free lunch. Chemoautrophs; co2 is c source, h2 is energy source. Impact on climate change; act as sinks for co2 (good), but act as sources of ch4 ( very bad) Methanogens are anaerobic are killed ny oxygen, they breathe co2 and exhale ch4 . this limits m to oxygen free habitatas (deep sediments, soil micro- niches, animal gut) Heterotrophs; methan (simplest organic compound) acts as both their carbon source and energy. Impact on climate change; act as sinks for ch4 (very good) but act as sources of co2. Methanotrophs remove methan and attack other pollutants e. g trichloroethene tce.
