Phosphorus Cycle by Anris Myslimaj https://padlet.com/anrismyslimaj/u3qnnkk685c32h9l Anris Myslimaj Nicholas Lucindo en-us 2020-09-27 18:05:58 UTC 2023-03-05 00:14:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/716839875/383a20bf834da70eb7cd52d247803ef0/34F968BB_6C62_41D9_955E_CA7A5276E5AC.jpeg anrismyslimaj https://padlet.com/anrismyslimaj/u3qnnkk685c32h9l/wish/782657900 The phosphorus differs from better-known cycles such as the carbon or water cycle because it does not cycle into the atmosphere, however it does in the lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.

  1. The plant dies, decomposes, and phosphorus is returned to the rock/soil
  2. An animal consumes the plant, it absorbs the phosphorus, and when the animal dies and decomposes, it returns to the rock/soil.

When the sedimentary rock is moved to land, it is called geologic uplift. This can also occur on land when mountains form over time (pushing rock from deep within the earth up to the surface, leaving it vulnerable to weathering).

An increase of phosphorus is often one of the contributing factors to eutrophication, which hurts the pre-existing life in an area because sometimes the algae release harmful toxins and lower the dissolved oxygen levels of the water.

This helps the plants grow, but when it rains unnatural amounts of phosphorus are carried through runoff to different locations. Often this leads to eutrophication, which further harms marine life.
