Biogeochemical Integration Model (BIM)

The Biogeochemical Integration Model (BIM) is a scientific framework used to understand how different natural processes—like weather, soil, water, plants, and animals—interact to transfer and cycle nutrients and elements within ecosystems. It helps researchers predict how changes in one part of the environment, such as pollution or climate shifts, influence the overall health and functioning of ecosystems. By integrating various biological, chemical, and physical data, BIM offers a comprehensive picture of nutrient flows and environmental impact, aiding in sustainable management and conservation efforts.
