Interedependence of Carbon and Water cycles

interedependence via

Atmosphere, Biosphere, Oceans, Cryosphere

Cryopshere Mnemonic

every penguing marches

Epm

enhanced GHE

ePm

permafrost thaw

epM

Mliankovitch cycle (growth and decay of cie sheets)

Vegetation mnemonic

tiny penguins lside down glaciers

Tpsdg

c+w cycle funcition Togethor

tPsdg

Photosyntheis and NPP dtermined by moisutre availabiity

tpSdg

soil gornaic matter hleps retain soil mositure - esential for photsyntheis

tpsDg

deomposition rate dtermined by both temp and soil moisture

tpsdG

GHE ehances drought risk so less pohotysnthesis so less fix of carbon, fire risk from drought eleases co2 via combustion

Atmosphere mneomnic

please get some snacks people

Pgssp

Photsynthesis takes up c and emits w from atmosphere The process where plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

pGssp

GHE gloal warming increases water vapour in atmosphere

pgSsp

soluble Co2 ini rain water causes carobnation and more flows of carbon into oceans

pgsSp

ghe causes SEA ice melt

pgssP

positive ffedback as wv is a ghg

Oceans mnemonic

The lazy panda eats snacks

Tlpes

Thermal expansion caused by GW

tLpes

Long term temp flucutations, cooler SSt absor more CO2

tlPes

Phytplankton ocnturbte slow carobn cycle

tlpEs

Enhanced GHE, Gw causes SST to increase so less Co2 iabsorbed into oceans

tlpeS

Solution of Co2, aciidifcation so less marine organisms fix less carbon
