History
Early Greek
Early Greeks established the core idea of biogeochemistry that nature consists of cycles.[2]
18th-19th centuries
Agricultural interest in 18th-century soil chemistry led to better understanding of nutrients and their connection to biochemical processes. This relationship between the cycles of organic life and their chemical products was further expanded upon by Dumas and Boussingault in a 1844 paper that is considered an important milestone in the development of biogeochemistry.[2][3][4] Jean-Baptiste Lamarck first used the term biosphere in 1802, and others continued to develop the concept throughout the 19th century.[3] Early climate research by scientists like Charles Lyell, John Tyndall, and Joseph Fourier began to link glaciation, weathering, and climate.[5]
20th century
The founder of modern biogeochemistry was
- Abioticsphere – all the non-living energy and material processes
- Biosphere – the life processes that live within the abiotic sphere
- Nöesis or cognitive process
Human activities (e.g., agriculture and

Biogeochemistry research groups exist in many universities around the world. Since this is a highly

, are also studied. This research has obvious applications in the exploration of ore deposits and oil, and in the remediation of environmental pollution.Some important research fields for biogeochemistry include:
- modellingof natural systems
- soil and water acidification recovery processes
- eutrophication of surface waters
- carbon sequestration
- environmental remediation
- global change
- climate change
- biogeochemical prospecting for ore deposits
- soil chemistry
- chemical oceanography
Evolutionary Biogeochemistry
Evolutionary biogeochemistry is a branch of modern biogeochemistry that applies the study of biogeochemical cycles to the geologic history of the Earth. This field investigates the origin of biogeochemical cycles and how they have changed throughout the planet's history, specifically in relation to the evolution of life.[12]
