What is the process by which materials pass between the nonliving environment and living organisms?

The process by which materials pass between the nonliving environment and living organisms is called biogeochemical cycling. It involves the circulation of nutrients, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, through various components of the ecosystem, including the atmosphere, soil, water, and organisms. This cycling is essential for the functioning and sustainability of ecosystems.
