biogeochemical feedbacks
definition: FEEDBACKS ARE PROCESSES in a system that can either amplify or dampen the systems response to external influences. When the concentration of a certain variable in a subsystem affects the behavior of the entire system, then changes in inputs or concentrations of that variable can result in multiple, coupled responses.
