Nutrient Cycles in the Ecosystem

This topic explores the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and water in the biosphere, including the roles of microorganisms. Learners will design cycles, evaluate their importance, and investigate factors that disrupt them. Understanding nutrient cycles is vital for ECZ questions on ecology, environmental management, and human impact on ecosystems. It aligns with the Zambian CBC's emphasis on climate change and sustainability, helping students appreciate the interconnectedness of biological and geological processes.
