The Carbon Cycle and Soil Organic Carbon - Cornell University
nmsp.cals.cornell.eduformation of molecules that are useful and necessary to support life. The role of carbon in living systems is so significant that a whole branch of study is devoted to it: organic chemistry. Carbon that is not tied up in rock or deep in the oceans is constantly changing and moving. This process is called the carbon cycle
