Biology - Carbon Cycle and Water Cycle Cycles

⁣The functioning of the water cycle involves a change in energy which leads to a difference in temperature. The carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that facilitates the exchange of carbon through the different compartments of earth. Carbon is the backbone of all biological compounds and many minerals like limestone. ⁣The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus altering the terrestrial water cycle and the availability of soil moisture necessary for plants' carbon dioxide uptake.
