Biogeochemical cycles are cycles by which essential elements of a living organism are circulated continuously. It consider the biological, chemical, and geological aspect of each cycle.
The most important biogeochemical cycles are nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, oxygen cycle and phosphorous cycle.
Biogeochemical cycle always have a state of equilibrium, and the state of equilibrium is attained when there is balance in cycling of element among the compartment.
