Description Part 1: Overview of the Carbon Cycle The carbon cycle is a complex system with interactions between the different components of the Earth System. In this homework, you will learn how carbon is moved between the different reservoirs naturally, and how human activities are changing the cycle. Volcanic eruptions (0.6 GT/year) Dissolution of atmospheric carbon in surface ocean (90 GT/year Photosynthesis on land (110 GT/year) Release of carbon from surface ocean to atmosphere (90 GT/year) Leaf fall to soil (60 GT/year) Uptake of carbon from surface ocean by ocean life (10 GT/year) Respiration from life on land (i.e., plants, 50 GT/year) Downwelling (mixing) from surface to deep ocean (96.2 GT/year) Respiration from soil (59.4 GT/year) Upwelling (mixing) from deep ocean to surface ocean (105.6 GT/year) Runoff of soil to surface ocean (0.6 GT/year) Dead ocean life sinking to deep ocean (10 GT/year) Deposition of sediment from deep ocean to rock (0.6 GT/year) 1.The diagram above shows the reservoirs of the carbon cycle with the mass of carbon in Gigatons. Using PowerPoint or the “Draw” feature in Microsoft Word, draw labelled arrows between the relevant reservoirs to represent the sinks and sources listed in the table above. Save your PowerPoint slide as an image (watch the tutorial video if you need help) and insert the image in the space below. (13 points) 2.

You may use AI on this Assignment; state which AI you used and date of time of using it. See the Course Syllabus for the university AI statement that must be included in your submission. Background: You graduated from Tennessee Tech, moved to Kansas for a job, and were appointed to the Kansas Governor's Board of Water Policy for the State. You are one of five members. The underground aquifer underneath the surface of your state has been over pumped for irrigation of agricultural crops, cities, and industry. Wells are starting to run dry. The state's biggest city is growing so fast that more water is needed for the increasing urban population. Agricultural production is down. A 10 year long drought is affecting the state and other Plains states. Would you propose steps to increase supply, decrease demand? Mitigate or adapt to the impact of decreased water?

Description Now, you are ready to draft a paper about soil and sustainable agriculture where you live, and your own plan for a 500-acre sustainable food production operation. In your essay, Describe the general area where you live (local community, county, etc.) by addressing the following: What are the characteristics of the soil? What is the composition (sand, silt, clay)? How well does it retain water? How fertile is the soil generally? What are the seasons like? How much precipitation (rain and snow) do you get annually, and how is it distributed throughout the year? Discuss agricultural production in your community: What crops are being grown? What production methods are being used? Is irrigation necessary? Are there any greenhouses or other indoor food production operations in your area? Are there any organic or other sustainable agriculture operations within 50 or 100 miles of your location? Create a plan, based on the conditions in your area, for a sustainable food production operation that addresses the following questions: How will you divide up the 500 acres between at least four different sustainable food production methods? Why is each method suitable to your local area and conditions? Which foods will you produce and what methods will you utilize for each one? You should conduct research on sustainable food production systems, and you can also use information from the Week 2 Properties of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture Laboratory.
