  • The materials that circulate between the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere are gases or vapours in gaseous nutrient cycles, and the reservoir pool is the atmosphere or hydrosphere, such as water, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.
  • Sulphur is subject to both gaseous and sedimentary nutrient cycles.

There are two types of nutrient cycling:

(i) Gaseous cycles, such as the C and N cycles,

(ii) Sedimentary cycles, such as the P and S cycles,

  • Sedimentary cycles involve the cyclic exchange of minerals from the lithosphere or crust of the earth with the biotic components of the ecosystem.
  • Sulphur and phosphorus cycles are two examples of cycles that fall under the sedimentary category.
  • Minerals move back and forth between the atmosphere and the biotic world in gaseous cycles.
  • Carbon and nitrogen cycles are frequent examples of gaseous cycles.
  • In an ecosystem, a variety of nutrient cycles recycle essential nutrients. Biogeochemical cycles are another name for the cycles. The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are examples of gaseous nutrient cycles. In these cycles, the component is delivered in the air.
  • Sedimentary nutrient cycles incorporate the sulphur cycle and the phosphorus cycle. The element is released into the sedimentary rocks during these cycles.

Hence, the correct solution is option 4).
