Some Tendencies in the Development of the Concept of Balanced Biogeochemical Cycles of Chemical Elements

The paper addresses theoretical and applied aspects of the method of balance of chemical elements in landscapes. It is demonstrated how ignoring the atmospheric cycle leads to misinterpretations of migration processes and errors in predicting the functioning of geosystems. The evapotranspiratory mat...

Description
Summary:The paper addresses theoretical and applied aspects of the method of balance of chemical elements in landscapes. It is demonstrated how ignoring the atmospheric cycle leads to misinterpretations of migration processes and errors in predicting the functioning of geosystems. The evapotranspiratory material transfer in the background taiga landscapes in the Urals is evaluated, and evapotranspiration is demonstrated to significantly decrease the imbalance of the material fluxes.
