Carbon cycle, artwork
Carbon cycle. Artwork illustrating the global carbon cycle. Carbon is stored in the Earths terrestrial biosphere (flora, fauna, soil and freshwater), geosphere (geological store), hydrosphere (oceans) and atmosphere. It is exchanged between these reservoirs by biological, chemical and physical processes (indicated by arrows). The global carbon budget is the balance between the carbon reservoirs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork beautifully illustrates the intricate and interconnected nature of the global carbon cycle. The print showcases the various reservoirs where carbon is stored within our Earth's complex system. From the terrestrial biosphere, which includes flora, fauna, soil, and freshwater ecosystems, to the geosphere with its geological stores, and even to the hydrosphere encompassing our vast oceans - each plays a crucial role in this biogeochemical process. The artwork depicts how carbon is exchanged between these reservoirs through a combination of biological, chemical, and physical processes. Arrows symbolize this constant movement as carbon flows from one storage location to another. This dynamic exchange ultimately contributes to maintaining a delicate balance known as the global carbon budget. As we observe this stunning visual representation of our planet's natural systems at work, it becomes evident that every living organism has a part to play in this grand scheme. Whether it be animals roaming wild or livestock grazing on pastures or even plants undergoing photosynthesis - all contribute their share towards regulating atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Moreover, additional elements such as power stations emitting greenhouse gases or forest fires releasing stored carbon further emphasize humanity's impact on this delicate equilibrium. Through understanding and appreciating these intricacies depicted in this remarkable illustration by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both Earth science and environmental science disciplines while recognizing our responsibility for preserving these vital processes for future generations.
