Pathways through which nitrogen is recycled through the biosphere. Water that falls from clouds in the atmosphere to Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, and sleet. Precipitation that is not absorbed by the soil and flows over the surface of the ground. Process in which plants give off water vapor.
seeps in the ground and becomes ground water. Water is taken by roots of plants after going through plants the water moves in the atmosphere. ... in the living portion of the water cycle, water is taken up by.

Ithink its because more have died recently than in the past.
