7. Carbon cycling and carbonate buffering
7.1. Geochemistry of the carbon cycle
- Cycling of carbon between inorganic and organic compounds.
- State parameters which are altered by microbial activities
in the carbon cycle: CT and ANC.
- Carbonate buffering capacity ß.
- Spacial and temporal changes in CT and ANC as represented
in the ANC/CT -diagram.
- Alterations of ANC and CT by various bacterial lifestyles.
- Effects of acid rain on carbonate-buffered microbial
ecosystems: e.g. remote mountain lake ecosystems in silicious rock
areas.
