Natural sulfur cycle
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007480
The biogeochemical process describing the movement of sulfur compounds through the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, excluding anthropogenic emissions. It involves the transformation of sulfur between its oxidized and reduced forms, primarily through microbial activity and volcanic outgassing. Key atmospheric components include sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and dimethyl sulfide.
