Editing Biogeochemistry (section)

=== 18th-19th centuries ===
Agricultural interest in 18th-century soil chemistry led to better understanding of nutrients and their connection to biochemical processes. This relationship between the cycles of organic life and their chemical products was further expanded upon by [[Jean-Baptiste Dumas|Dumas]] and [[Jean-Baptiste Boussingault|Boussingault]] in a 1844 paper that is considered an important milestone in the development of biogeochemistry.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Bianchi |first=Thomas S. |date=2021-06-01 |title=The evolution of biogeochemistry: revisited |journal=Biogeochemistry |language=en |volume=154 |issue=2 |pages=141–181 |doi=10.1007/s10533-020-00708-0 |s2cid=227165026 |issn=1573-515X|doi-access=free |bibcode=2021Biogc.154..141B }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Dumas |first1=J.-B. |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/137099 |title=The chemical and physiological balance of organic nature; an essay |last2=Boussingault |first2=J.
