The interactions among carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and various other elements are vital for understanding ecological dynamics, especially in relation to biogeochemical cycles. CHONe II, an enhanced framework built upon its predecessor CHON, is an evolved model that incorporates these essential elements to analyze and predict environmental changes. This article examines the significance of CHONe II in contemporary environmental science, highlighting its applications and potential contributions to sustainability and biodiversity resilience.
Introduction
CHONe is an acronym representing the principal biogenic elements—carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, chone2.ca and nitrogen—crucial to life on Earth. These elements form the backbone of organic molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, which are fundamental for biological processes.
