SULFUR CYCLE

Specialty Definition: SULFUR CYCLE

Domain	Definition
Chemistry	A series of processes in which atmospheric sulfur dioxide is oxidized to the trioxide, which combines with water and is washed out on to the earth's surface as sulfuric acid or sulfates; bacterial action converts the sulfates into hydrogen sulfide, which is then oxidized to sulfur dioxide. This mechanism maintains the global atmospheric concentration of sulfur dioxide at a roughly constant level, and it is important to ensure that the extra sulfur dioxide produced by man does not overload it, leading to steadily increasing concentration in the air. Source: European Union. (references)
Weather	Cyclic movement of sulfur in different chemical forms from the environment, to organisms, and then back to the environment. (references)
