Overview
The carbon cycle is a complex biogeochemical process that exchanges carbon among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, making Earth capable of sustaining life. The cycle comprises fast and slow processes, with the fast cycle completing within years and the slow cycle taking thousands to millions of years. As of 2024, the global average atmospheric carbon dioxide has reached a record high of 422.7 parts per million (ppm), highlighting the need to understand and manage the carbon cycle.
