Biogeochemistry includes the history of the great carbon reservoirs in the crust of the Earth, like limestone rocks and the coal deposits, as well as the distribution of nitrate and phosphate in the ocean.
The global carbon cycle is now usually divided into the following major reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange: 1  The atmosphere. 2  The terrestrial biosphere. 3  The oceans, including dissolved inorganic carbon and living and non-living marine biota.
