“…Organic biomarker compounds are often used as tracers of sedimentary organic matter sources (for reviews, see Brassell and Eglinton, 1981;Gagosian, 1983;Farrington, 1987). However, in only a few cases has the concentration 92.…”

“…More recently, some individual organic compounds have been shown to be diagnostic for specific marine and terrigenous faunal and floral inputs to sediments (MacKenzie, et a1., 1982;Gagosian, 1983;Farrington, 1987); angiosperm versus gymnosperm sources Hedges and Mann, 1979a and b); leaf epicuticu1ar wax input (Eg1inton and Hamilton, 1967); dinoflagellate sources (Volkman, et a1., 1984;Robinson, et a1., 1984); and Prymnesiophyte algae, including cocco1ithophorid sources (Marlowe, et a1., 1984a;Marlowe, et a1., 1984b;Brassell, et a1., 1986a;. Principles of organic molecular stratigraphy (Eg1inton and Hamilton, 1967) developed in lacustrine sediments demonstrated the potential usefulness of organic geochemistry in addressing geo1ogia1 problems (e.g., Reed and Mankiewicz, 1975;Ishiwatari and Ogura, 1984).…”

The general subject of organic matter in the sea is treated here in a somewhat different fashion than traditionally done in geochemistry. The title of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus biogeochemistry is intended to emphasize that coverage is of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients as well as of dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus and particulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The measurement and processing of dissolved organic matter are discussed first, followed by sections on the “microbial loop”, sediment traps, sediment processes, and “new production”. Then, nutrient analyses and fluxes, nitrogen cycling and atmospheric input, nutrient limitation, and eutrophication are addressed. The last area of discussion is iron limitation and sequestering of carbon in the Antarctic. The last four years have seen extensive research in the general subject area of this review and considerable progress in our understanding of cycling of these primary bio‐elements.

The evolution of biogeochemistry, retraces the important historical steps in part, covered by Gorham (Biogeochemistry 13:199–239, 1991) in the 18–19th centuries—with new emergent linkages and trends in 20–21st centuries. In the post-phlogiston period, key synthetic connections are made between weathering, atmospheric chemistry, carbon cycling, and climate change. Early work in the 19th century, focused on weathering and the importance of organisms in the exchange of carbon dioxide between the rocks and the atmosphere, provided foundations for new analytical approaches. The role microbes in connecting abiotic and biotic processes begins to emerge, based largely on the existing knowledge of stoichiometry in agricultural soils and plants. This in part, leads to the founding of ecology and its linkages with evolution and biogeography. Verandsky boldly emerges in the 20th century, with his concepts of a biosphere and a noosphere, as concerns begin to arise about human impacts on nature. The development of organic geochemistry as a discipline, allowed for new roots to develop in the evolution of biogeochemistry through linkages between short and long-term carbon cycles. In the 20th century, a new interesting stoichiometry emerges in biogeochemistry—as related to the Green Revolution, human population growth, and eutrophication problems. The advent of long-term and large-scale experiments help to constrain the complexity of non-linearity and regional differences in fluxes and rates in biogeochemical work. A new age begins in the 21st century whereby molecular approaches (e.g. omics) combined with large-scale satellite, monitoring, survey, observatory approaches are combined in the development of Earth System models. These new connections with ecological/evolutionary genetics are one of the more dramatic and important aspects of biogeochemistry in modern times.
