Question

when the biogeochemical cycles are functioning normally, they stabilize themselves after a disturbance and return to a normal state. this internal stabilization of the cycle is an example of what? negative feedback loop positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Negative feedback loops counteract changes. Here, the biogeochemical cycle counteracts the disturbance (change) and returns to normal (opposing the change), which is characteristic of a negative feedback loop. Positive feedback loops amplify changes, which is not the case here.

Answer:

Negative feedback loop
