For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's
surface - its atmosphere, waters and exposed crust - has been
determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms
exposed the Earth's surface to oxygen, denitrifying bacteria have
maintained the nitrogen concentration in Earth's atmosphere, and
land plants have determined the rate of chemical weathering. Life
determines the global biogeochemical cycles of the elements of
biochemistry, especially C, N, P and S. Volume 8 traces the origin
and impact of life on the geochemistry of the Earth's surface, with
special emphasis on the current human impact on global
biogeochemical cycles.
Reprinted individual volume from the acclaimed Treatise on
Geochemistry, (10 Volume Set, ISBN 0-08-043751-6, published in
2003)
