This study provides an overview of the importance of marine biogeochemical cycles and their impact on ecosystem evolution, explores major biogeochemical processes such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and iron, and analyzes how these processes drive the long-term evolution of marine ecosystems. It also summarizes observational methods for studying marine biogeochemistry, including remote sensing, in situ measurement, and long-term observational networks, and discusses the application of climate models and ecosystem predictive models in describing the evolution of marine ecosystems, as well as the challenges encountered in modeling. The study emphasizes the development of observation and prediction methods to support long-term monitoring and scientific management of ecosystems.
