Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Chemical elements, such as nitrogen and carbon flow in a cycle. They move from the physical environment to the organisms’ body and then back to the environment, from the cycle started. To transport the chemicals in the ecosystem, biogeochemical cycles are involved in the process.

- The practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields. First, a plant without a nitrogen-fixing relationship, such as corn, is planted. After the harvest, a nitrogen-fixing plant replaces the initial crop. Instead of harvesting the nitrogen-fixing plant, however, it is plowed under. The cycle continues in this manner.
