Describe how phosphorus moves through the biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem

Biology

sertanlavr [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Phosphorus moves through both the abiotic and biotic factors through the phosphorus cycle. The accumulation of phosphorus takes place in the rocks and sediments, which are abiotic. Phosphorus in the form of phosphate may be mediated via wind and water, which both are also abiotic.  

Phosphorus gets absorbed by the plants, which are living and these plants further may get eaten up by other living species or may get die or decompose by the action of decomposers, which are also living. The phosphorus cycle comprises both abiotic and biotic elements that associate with phosphorus in its different forms, captivating it, storing it, and so on.

Phosphorus is a basic supplement for plants and creatures as particles PO43-and HPO42-. It is a piece of DNA-particles, of atoms that store vitality (ATP and ADP) and of fats of cell films. Phosphorus is likewise a building piece of specific parts of the human and creature body, for example, the bones and teeth. 




Supplements travel through the biological system in biogeochemical cycles. A biogeochemical cycle is a circuit/pathway by which a concoction component travels through the biotic and the abiotic elements of a biological community. It is comprehensive of the biotic factors, or living beings, rocks, air, water, and chemicals.

As the % organic content of a soil increases, what happens to 1) water holding capacity and 2) nutrient holding capacity?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

The organic matter present in the soil helps in improving the structure and stability of the soil. This affects in increase in pore size and also increases the volume of the soil.

The effect of organic matter on the following parameters is as follows:

1) Water holding capacity: The increase in pores in the soil will enhance the water holding capacity of the soil. The number of micropores and macropores will increase and this will lead to aggregation of the soil particles and will help in creating the favorable living environment for the soil microbes.

2) Nutrient holding capacity: The capacity of the soil to hold the nutrients that come from fertilizer or from natural sources is the nutrient holding capacity of the soil and it is against the leaching of the minerals from the soil. If the organic content of the soil increases it will readily absorb the nutrients obtain from natural source or from fertilizers. It will allow the nutrient exchange between plants and soil.
