### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nutrient Cycles**: - Nutrient cycles are processes through which nutrients move through the ecosystem. They can be classified into two main types: gaseous nutrient cycles and sedimentary nutrient cycles. 2. **Identifying Reservoirs**: - **Gaseous Nutrient Cycle**: The reservoir for the gaseous nutrient cycle is the **atmosphere**. In this cycle, nutrients like carbon and nitrogen are present in gaseous forms (e.g., carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas). - **Sedimentary Nutrient Cycle**: The reservoir for the sedimentary nutrient cycle is the **earth's crust**. In this cycle, nutrients such as phosphorus and iron are found in solid forms within the earth's crust. ...
