Schematic of the natural chlorine biogeochemical cycle

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Biogeochemical chlorine cycle: chlorine is cycled through the atmosphere, mantle, crust, pedosphere, cryosphere, and oceans as chloride and organic chlorine(cite). Arrows are labeled in fluxes of chlorine in Tg (teragrams) per year(cite). Estimates are also made of natural chlorine contents in Earth’s reservoirs and the form they are stored in(cite). The mantle constitutes the largest reservoir of chlorine at 22 Yg (yottagrams, 1024 g)(cite). Other reservoirs show numbers expressed as Zg (zettagrams, 1021 g), Pg (petagrams, 1015 g), and Gg (gigagrams, 109 g). Chlorine is cycled through the pedosphere via biotic and abiotic processes that lead to this reservoir acting as a sink(cite).
