Top processes

Lakes and wetlands: mixing, carbon burial, CO2 and methane emission, eutrophication

1 step

Anthropogenic sources (agriculture, waste, fossil fuels) about 60%

Nitrogen cycling

1 step

Reactive nitrogen lost from fertiliser and fuel burning cascades through air, water and land, causing smog, acid and nitrogen deposition, eutrophication and nit

Energy capture by living things

1 step

People appropriate about 24% of potential land NPP (15.6 Pg C a year): 53% by harvest, 40% by land-use-driven productivity loss, 7% by human-set fires

Fossil and geologic carbon exchange

1 step

Land-use change, mainly deforestation, adds about 1.2 Gt C a year to the 9.9 Gt C of fossil emissions, for a total of 11.1 Gt C of anthropogenic CO2 in 2022

Phosphorus cycling

1 step

Human inputs raise carbon and nitrogen far faster than phosphorus, an N:P imbalance with no precedent in Earth's history that is likely to limit future carbon s
