Draw schematically the phosphorus cycle in nature and mention what type of nutrient cycle it is?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Phosphorus Cycle : The natural reservoir of phosphorus is rock which contains phosphorus in the form of phosphates. On weathering, minute amount of phosphates dissolve in soil solution and is absorbed by the roots of the plants. The waste products of dead organisms are decomposed by bacteria to release phosphorus. Gaseous exchange between organism and environment is negligible as compared to carbon.
