Biogeochemical cycle
Chromium cycles through the Earth atmosphere , soil , freshwater bodies, rivers , oceans , crust and mantle . The arrows indicate fluxes given in gigagrams (1,000 metric tons ) of chromium per year. The corresponding stocks (inventories) indicate reservoirs of chromium given in gigagrams of chromium.
The chromium cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of chromium through the atmosphere , hydrosphere , biosphere and lithosphere .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
