The storage areas for carbon and other nutrients in the ocean and atmosphere are called reservoirs. In the context of the carbon cycle and nutrient cycling, a reservoir refers to a large storage or accumulation of a substance (such as carbon) that can be exchanged with other parts of the Earth's system over time. The oceans and the atmosphere are significant reservoirs in the global carbon cycle, playing crucial roles in regulating the distribution and cycling of carbon and other nutrients.
