#BioDub Biogeochemical Cycle Haikus - Best Of

5/17/2019

 
Water Cycle

Ascend to the skies!
Even if we fall back down,
We will rise again

Did you drink water?
It came from the sky to ground
And will return soon

Precipitation
Condensation In the clouds
Seepage, root uptake

Rainfall from the clouds
Surface runoff into lakes
Evaporation

The water cycle 
Moves through the oceans and lands
It's always moving

Lakes, pond, rivers, sea
Raining, swimming, drinking, fog
Cycling around

Evaporation
After that condensation
Precipitation

Evaporation
The first step of the cycle
The water goes up

Movement of water 
On, above and below the
Surface of the Earth

Solid goes to gas
Condensation equals clouds
Precipitation

It starts with the sun
Evaporate, then condense
To be used again.

The water goes up 
Precipitates goes to earth
Ground water returns

Carbon Cycle

Plants use CO2
Humans breathe out CO2
Then plants make glucose

In the atmosphere
Photosynthesis is next
Decompose to fuels

Carbon in the sky
To the plants on earth to live
Photosynthesis

The carbon cycle 
When the organisms die 
They release carbon

Photosynthesis
Use carbon to make glucose
Producer food source


Nitrogen Cycle

Fertilization
Nitrogen in atmosphere
Fungi on the roots

Nitrogen in air
Nitrogen fixation goes
It makes ammonia

All organisms
Require nitrogen to make
Amino acids

N to NH3
Gaseous into solid N
Creates molecules

A key component
Nitrogen is everywhere
In your DNA

Solid N to gas 
Is denitrification
Amino acids


Phosphorus Cycle
The decomposers 
The nutrients in the ground
Dissolved in water

Plants absorb and grow 
Then animals go and eat
A loop is then formed 

No use atmosphere
Dissolved phosphate is common
Phosphate sediments
Atomic 15 
Atmospheric phosphorus 
Never does exist

Atmosphere? Not here!
Not in air but it's in dirt 
Also in the sea

Weathering release
Phosphate ions, minerals
In the soil, water

#BioDub Click the Pic - Food Fight!!!

Picture
In this game, you play against another person (sharing the same computer), each representing a different species in a food web. You take turns manipulating the food web (adding organisms) so as to increase the population of your species and/or decrease the population of your competitor's species.

​There is some debate regarding the true significance of the introduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park, but there is definitely a significance. I hope that as you watch this, you can appreciate how the effect of one species on all the species around it, which is what Ecology is all about.
In all fairness, here are some of the counter arguments:

Water Cycle

From liquid to gas
Back to Earth as a liquid
Moves into the ground

The water cycle
Oceans, atmosphere, and land
Solid, liquid, gas

Water is on land
Evaporate the water
Now it’s in the sky

Water in the sky
Condensates into the rain
Then the rain falls down

From oceans to sky
Solid to liquid to gas
Water changes form

Water dissipates
It condenses in the air
Then back to the earth

Carbon Cycle

Photosynthesis
CO2 in atmosphere
Turns into glucose

Carbon dioxide
Goes through photosynthesis
Out it respirates

​Photosynthesis
Carbon cycle, fossil fuels
Volcanic gasses
​
Nitrogen Cycle

Nitrogen Cycle
Gas turns into solid form
And vice versa too

Comes from atmosphere
Builds protein and DNA
Fungi convert it

Gas to ammonia  
Lots of reused nitrogen
Fungi changes it

All organisms
Need it to build their proteins
This cycle is key

Fungi on the roots
Convert gas into solid
That is N fixate

Phosphorus Cycle

Water and soil
Rocks release phosphate ions
Phosphate runs through soil

Has no gaseous forms
Found in soil and minerals
Travels through water

Not in atmosphere
Phosphorus is a solid
In ground and water

Runoff and leaching
Does not use the atmosphere
Can limit the growth

Water Cycle
Carbon Cycle
Evaporation
Then comes the condensation
Precipitation

Precipitation
It comes from inside the clouds
It gets things all wet

The sun heats water
Liquid transforms into gas
Then it rains, the end

Heat changes liquid
The gas turns into liquid
Falls down and runs off

Evaporation
Atmosphere condensation
Rainfall and snowfall
​
Photosynthesis
All the plants need this to live
Or will die, the end

Photosynthesis
Carbon to glucose through plants
Volcano goes boom

CO2 in the sky
Photosynthesis as well
Decomposition

Photosynthesis
Carbon cycle, fossil fuels
Volcanic gasses

Carbon cycle from
Air photosynthesis back
In respiration

Nitrogen Cycle
There is nitrogen
Fixating outside
​Gas into solid

Denitrification
And nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen cycle


Decomposition
Fungi transfers to plant
Nitrogen fixes

Fungi on roots, fam
Nitrogen fixation, cuz
Eat fertilizer
