Carbon cycle - wikipedia Carbon cycle Jump to : navigation , search For the thermonuclear reaction involving carbon that powers some stars , see CNO cycle . For organic chemical ring - shaped structures , see Cyclic compounds . Movement of carbon between land , atmosphere , and ocean in billions of tons per year . Yellow numbers are natural fluxes , red are human contributions , white are stored carbon . The effects of volcanic and tectonic activity are not included . The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere , pedosphere , geosphere , hydrosphere , and atmosphere of the Earth . Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone . Along with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle , the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that are key to make Earth capable of sustaining life . It describes the movement of carbon as it is recycled and reused throughout the biosphere , as well as long - term processes of carbon sequestration to and release from carbon sinks . The carbon cycle was initially discovered by Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier , and popularized by Humphry Davy .

The Earth 's interior ( mantle and crust . These carbon stores interact with the other components through geological processes . The carbon exchanges between reservoirs occur as the result of various chemical , physical , geological , and biological processes . The ocean contains the largest active pool of carbon near the surface of the Earth . The natural flows of carbon between the atmosphere , ocean , terrestrial ecosystems , and sediments is fairly balanced , so that carbon levels would be roughly stable without human influence . Atmosphere ( edit ) Main article : Atmospheric carbon cycle Epiphytes on electric wires . This kind of plant takes both CO and water from the atmosphere for living and growing . Carbon in the Earth 's atmosphere exists in two main forms : carbon dioxide and methane . Both of these gases absorb and retain heat in the atmosphere and are partially responsible for the greenhouse effect . Methane produces a larger greenhouse effect per volume as compared to carbon dioxide , but it exists in much lower concentrations and is more short - lived than carbon dioxide , making carbon dioxide the more important greenhouse gas of the two . Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere primarily through photosynthesis and enters the terrestrial and oceanic biospheres . Carbon dioxide also dissolves directly from the atmosphere into bodies of water ( ocean , lakes , etc . ) , as well as dissolving in precipitation as raindrops fall through the atmosphere . When dissolved in water , carbon dioxide reacts with water molecules and forms carbonic acid , which contributes to ocean acidity . It can then be absorbed by rocks through weathering . It also can acidify other surfaces it touches or be washed into the ocean . Human activities over the past two centuries have significantly increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere , mainly in the form of carbon dioxide , both by modifying ecosystems ' ability to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and by emitting it directly , e.g. , by burning fossil fuels and manufacturing concrete . Terrestrial biosphere ( edit ) Main article : Terrestrial biological carbon cycle A portable soil respiration system measuring soil CO flux The terrestrial biosphere includes the organic carbon in all land - living organisms , both alive and dead , as well as carbon stored in soils . About 500 gigatons of carbon are stored above ground in plants and other living organisms , while soil holds approximately 1,500 gigatons of carbon . Most carbon in the terrestrial biosphere is organic carbon , while about a third of soil carbon is stored in inorganic forms , such as calcium carbonate . Organic carbon is a major component of all organisms living on earth . Autotrophs extract it from the air in the form of carbon dioxide , converting it into organic carbon , while heterotrophs receive carbon by consuming other organisms . Because carbon uptake in the terrestrial biosphere is dependent on biotic factors , it follows a diurnal and seasonal cycle . In CO measurements , this feature is apparent in the Keeling curve . It is strongest in the northern hemisphere , because this hemisphere has more land mass than the southern hemisphere and thus more room for ecosystems to absorb and emit carbon . Carbon leaves the terrestrial biosphere in several ways and on different time scales . The combustion or respiration of organic carbon releases it rapidly into the atmosphere . It can also be exported into the ocean through rivers or remain sequestered in soils in the form of inert carbon . Carbon stored in soil can remain there for up to thousands of years before being washed into rivers by erosion or released into the atmosphere through soil respiration . Between 1989 and 2008 soil respiration increased by about 0.1 % per year . In 2008 , the global total of CO released by soil respiration was roughly 98 billion tonnes , about 10 times more carbon than humans are now putting into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuel ( this does not represent a net transfer of carbon from soil to atmosphere , as the respiration is largely offset by inputs to soil carbon ) . There are a few plausible explanations for this trend , but the most likely explanation is that increasing temperatures have increased rates of decomposition of soil organic matter , which has increased the flow of CO . The length of carbon sequestering in soil is dependent on local climatic conditions and thus changes in the course of climate change . Ocean ( edit ) Main article : Oceanic carbon cycle The ocean contains the greatest quantity of actively cycled carbon in this world and is second only to the lithosphere in the amount of carbon stored . Its surface layer holds large amounts of dissolved inorganic carbon that is exchanged rapidly with the atmosphere . The deep layer 's concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon ( DIC ) is about 15 % higher than that of the surface layer . DIC is stored in the deep layer for much longer periods of time . Thermohaline circulation exchanges carbon between these two layers . Carbon enters the ocean mainly through the dissolution of atmospheric carbon dioxide , which is converted into carbonate . It can also enter the ocean through rivers as dissolved organic carbon . It is converted by organisms into organic carbon through photosynthesis and can either be exchanged throughout the food chain or precipitated into the ocean 's deeper , more carbon rich layers as dead soft tissue or in shells as calcium carbonate . It circulates in this layer for long periods of time before either being deposited as sediment or , eventually , returned to the surface waters through thermohaline circulation . Oceanic absorption of CO is one of the most important forms of carbon sequestering limiting the human - caused rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere . However , this process is limited by a number of factors . Because the rate of CO dissolution in the ocean is dependent on the weathering of rocks and this process takes place slower than current rates of human greenhouse gas emissions , ocean CO uptake will decrease in the future . CO absorption also makes water more acidic , which affects ocean biosystems . The projected rate of increasing oceanic acidity could slow the biological precipitation of calcium carbonates , thus decreasing the ocean 's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide . Earth 's interior ( edit ) The geologic component of the carbon cycle operates slowly in comparison to the other parts of the global carbon cycle . It is one of the most important determinants of the amount of carbon in the atmosphere , and thus of global temperatures . Most of the earth 's carbon is stored inertly in the earth 's lithosphere . Much of the carbon stored in the earth 's mantle was stored there when the earth formed . Some of it was deposited in the form of organic carbon from the biosphere . Of the carbon stored in the geosphere , about 80 % is limestone and its derivatives , which form from the sedimentation of calcium carbonate stored in the shells of marine organisms . The remaining 20 % is stored as kerogens formed through the sedimentation and burial of terrestrial organisms under high heat and pressure . Organic carbon stored in the geosphere can remain there for millions of years . Carbon can leave the geosphere in several ways . Carbon dioxide is released during the metamorphosis of carbonate rocks when they are subducted into the earth 's mantle . This carbon dioxide can be released into the atmosphere and ocean through volcanoes and hotspots . It can also be removed by humans through the direct extraction of kerogens in the form of fossil fuels . After extraction , fossil fuels are burned to release energy , thus emitting the carbon they store into the atmosphere . Human influence ( edit ) Main article : Global warming Human activity since the industrial era has changed the balance in the natural carbon cycle . Units are in gigatons . CO in Earth 's atmosphere if half of global - warming emissions are not absorbed . ( NASA computer simulation ) . Since the industrial revolution , human activity has modified the carbon cycle by changing its components ' functions and directly adding carbon to the atmosphere . The largest human impact on the carbon cycle is through direct emissions from burning fossil fuels , which transfers carbon from the geosphere into the atmosphere . The rest of this increase is caused mostly by changes in land - use , particularly deforestation . Another direct human impact on the carbon cycle is the chemical process of calcination of limestone for clinker production , which releases CO . Clinker is an industrial precursor of cement . Humans also influence the carbon cycle indirectly by changing the terrestrial and oceanic biosphere . Over the past several centuries , direct and indirect human - caused land use and land cover change ( LUCC ) has led to the loss of biodiversity , which lowers ecosystems ' resilience to environmental stresses and decreases their ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere . More directly , it often leads to the release of carbon from terrestrial ecosystems into the atmosphere . Deforestation for agricultural purposes removes forests , which hold large amounts of carbon , and replaces them , generally with agricultural or urban areas . Both of these replacement land cover types store comparatively small amounts of carbon , so that the net product of the process is that more carbon stays in the atmosphere . Other human - caused changes to the environment change ecosystems ' productivity and their ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere . Air pollution , for example , damages plants and soils , while many agricultural and land use practices lead to higher erosion rates , washing carbon out of soils and decreasing plant productivity . Humans also affect the oceanic carbon cycle . Current trends in climate change lead to higher ocean temperatures , thus modifying ecosystems . Also , acid rain and polluted runoff from agriculture and industry change the ocean 's chemical composition . Such changes can have dramatic effects on highly sensitive ecosystems such as coral reefs , thus limiting the ocean 's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere on a regional scale and reducing oceanic biodiversity globally . Arctic methane emissions indirectly caused by anthropogenic global warming also affect the carbon cycle , and contribute to further warming in what is known as climate change feedback . On 12 November 2015 , NASA scientists reported that human - made carbon dioxide ( CO ) continues to increase , reaching levels not seen in hundreds of thousands of years : currently , the rate carbon dioxide release by the burning of fossil fuels is about double the net uptake by vegetation and the ocean .

Driven to revenge , Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band and fights in the Civil War . After the war , all the fighters in Wales ' group except for Wales surrender to Union officers , but they end up being massacred .

The film was adapted by Sonia Chernus and Philip Kaufman from author Forrest Carter 's 1972 novel The Rebel Outlaw : Josey Wales ( republished , as shown in the movie 's opening credits , as Gone to Texas ) . The film was a commercial success , earning $31.8 million against a $3.7 million budget . In 1996 , the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for being deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 4.1 Awards 5 Meaning 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 External links Plot ( edit ) Josey Wales , a Missouri farmer , is driven to revenge by the murder of his wife and young son by a band of pro-Union Jayhawker militants . The murderers were from Senator James H. Lane 's Kansas Brigade , led by Captain Terrill . After grieving and burying his wife and son , Wales joins a group of pro-Confederate Missouri Bushwhackers led by William T. Anderson and fights in the Civil War . At the conclusion of the war , Captain Fletcher persuades the guerrillas to surrender , saying they have been granted amnesty . Wales refuses to surrender . As a result , he and one young man are the only survivors when Captain Terrill 's Redlegs massacre the surrendering men . Wales intervenes and guns down several Redlegs with a Gatling gun . Senator Lane forces Fletcher to work with Terrill in tracking down Wales and puts a $5,000 bounty on Wales , who is now on the run from Union militia and bounty hunters . Along the way , despite wishing to be left alone , he accumulates a diverse group of companions . They include an old Cherokee named Lone Watie , a young Navajo woman , and an elderly woman from Kansas and her granddaughter Laura Lee , whom Wales rescues from Comancheros . At Santo Rio , two men , Travis and Chato , join their group . Wales and his companions find the abandoned ranch owned by Laura 's father and inhabit it after Wales parleys and makes peace with the neighboring Comanche tribe leader , Ten Bears . Meanwhile , a bounty hunter who identified Wales at Santo Rio , guides Captain Terrill and his men to the town . The following morning , the ranch is attacked by the Redlegs . Wales ' companions take shelter in the fortified ranch house and open fire , gunning down all of Terrill 's men . A wounded Wales , despite being out of ammunition , pursues the fleeing Terrill . When he corners him , Wales dry fires his four pistols through all the empty chambers before stabbing and killing Terrill with his own cavalry sword . At the bar in Santa Rio , Wales finds Fletcher with two Texas Rangers . The locals at the bar , who refer to Wales as `` Mr. Wilson , '' tell the Rangers that Wales was killed in a shoot - out in Monterrey , Mexico . The Rangers accept this story and move on . Fletcher refuses to believe the story , but pretends to not recognize Wales and says that he will go to Mexico to look for Wales himself , and try to convince him that the war is over , because he owes him that . Wales says that they all died a little in the war , before riding off . Cast ( edit ) Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales Chief Dan George as Lone Watie Sondra Locke as Laura Lee Bill McKinney as Terrill John Vernon as Fletcher Paula Trueman as Grandma Sarah Sam Bottoms as Jamie Charles Tyner as Zukie Limmer Geraldine Keams as Little Moonlight Woodrow Parfrey as Carpetbagger Joyce Jameson as Rose Sheb Wooley as Travis Cobb Royal Dano as Ten Spot Matt Clark as Kelly Will Sampson as Ten Bears John Quade as Comanchero Leader John Russell as `` Bloody Bill '' Anderson William O'Connell as Sim Carstairs Production ( edit ) Pahreah site in Utah , filming location of the film . The Outlaw Josey Wales was inspired by a 1972 novel by Forrest Carter , and was originally titled The Rebel Outlaw : Josey Wales and later retitled Gone to Texas . The script was worked on by Sonia Chernus and producer Bob Daley at Malpaso , and Eastwood himself paid some of the money to obtain the screen rights . Michael Cimino and Philip Kaufman later oversaw the writing of the script , aiding Chernus . Kaufman wanted the film to stay as close to the novel as possible in style and retained many of the mannerisms in Wales 's character which Eastwood would display on screen , such as his distinctive lingo with words like `` reckon '' , `` hoss '' ( instead of `` horse '' ) , and `` ye '' ( instead of `` you '' ) and spitting tobacco juice on animals and victims . The characters of Wales , the Cherokee chief , Navajo woman , and the old settler woman and her daughter all appeared in the novel . Contrariwise , Kaufman was less happy with the novel 's political stance ; he felt that it had been `` written by a crude fascist '' and that `` the man 's hatred of government was insane '' . He also felt that that element of the script needed to be severely toned down , but , he later said , `` Clint did n't , and it was his film '' . Kaufman was later fired by Eastwood , who took over the film 's direction himself . Cinematographer Bruce Surtees , James Fargo , and Fritz Manes scouted for locations and eventually found sites in Utah , Arizona , Wyoming , and Oroville , California even before they saw the final script . Kaufman cast Chief Dan George , who had been nominated for an Academy Award for Supporting Actor in Little Big Man , as the old Cherokee Lone Watie . Sondra Locke , also a previous Academy Award nominee , was cast by Eastwood against Kaufman 's wishes as the granddaughter of the old settler woman , Laura Lee . This marked the beginning of a close relationship between Eastwood and Locke that would last six films and the beginning of a romance that would last into the late 1980s . Ferris Webster was hired as the film 's editor and Jerry Fielding as composer . Principal photography began on October 6 , 1975 in Lake Powell . A rift between Eastwood and Kaufman developed during the filming . Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail , which caused disagreements with Eastwood , not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman 's part in regards to their emerging relationship . One evening , Kaufman insisted on finding a beer can as a prop to be used in a scene , but while he was absent , Eastwood ordered Surtees to quickly shoot the scene as light was fading and then drove away , leaving before Kaufman had returned . Soon after , filming moved to Kanab , Utah . On October 24 , 1975 , Kaufman was fired at Eastwood 's command by producer Bob Daley . The sacking caused an outrage amongst the Directors Guild of America and other important Hollywood executives , since the director had already worked hard on the film , including completing all of the pre-production . Pressure mounted on Warner Bros. and Eastwood to back down , but their refusal to do so resulted in a fine , reported to be around $60,000 for the violation . This resulted in the Director 's Guild passing new legislation , known as ' the Eastwood Rule ' , which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then becoming the director himself . From then on , the film was directed by Eastwood himself with Daley second - in - command , but with Kaufman 's planning already in place , the team were able to finish making the film efficiently . Reception ( edit ) `` Eastwood is such a taciturn and action - oriented performer that it 's easy to overlook the fact that he directs many of his movies -- and many of the best , most intelligent ones . Here , with the moody , gloomily beautiful , photography of Bruce Surtees , he creates a magnificent Western feeling '' Roger Ebert , Chicago Sun - Times , January 1 , 1976 Upon release in August 1976 , The Outlaw Josey Wales was widely acclaimed by critics , many of whom saw Eastwood 's role as an iconic one , relating it with much of America 's ancestral past and the destiny of the nation after the American Civil War . The film was pre-screened at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Humanities in Idaho in a six - day conference entitled Western Movies : Myths and Images . Academics such as Bruce Jackson , critics such as Jay Cocks and Arthur Knight and directors such as King Vidor , Henry King , William Wyler and Howard Hawks were invited to the screening . The film would later appear in Time magazine 's Top 10 films of the year . Roger Ebert compared the nature and vulnerability of Eastwood 's portrayal of Josey Wales with his `` Man with No Name '' character in the Dollars Trilogy and praised the atmosphere of the film . On The Merv Griffin Show , Orson Welles lauded the film , calling Eastwood `` one of America 's finest directors . '' Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes retrospectively gave the film a 95 % rating based on reviews from 38 critics . Awards ( edit ) The Outlaw Josey Wales was nominated for the Academy Award for Original Music Score . In 1996 , it was deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry . It was also one of the few Western films to receive critical and commercial success in the 1970s at a time when the Western was thought to be dying as a major genre in Hollywood . Clint Eastwood says on the 1999 DVD release that the movie is `` certainly one of the high points of my career ... in the Western genre of filmmaking . '' Meaning ( edit ) Eastwood has called The Outlaw Josey Wales an anti-war film . In an interview with The Wall Street Journal , he said : As for Josey Wales , I saw the parallels to the modern day at that time . Everybody gets tired of it , but it never ends . A war is a horrible thing , but it 's also a unifier of countries ... Man becomes his most creative during war . Look at the amount of weaponry that was made in four short years of World War II -- the amount of ships and guns and tanks and inventions and planes and P - 38s and P - 51s , and just the urgency and the camaraderie , and the unifying . But that 's kind of a sad statement on mankind , if that 's what it takes . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Munn , p. 156 Jump up ^ `` The Outlaw Josey Wales '' . Box Office Mojo .
