What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.
How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?
By they acid in the substances it weathers the rock away.
How does weathering releases phosphate from rock?
Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate rocks to break down and release phosphate into soil. Acid precipitation and the chemicals released by lichen can cause the chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes like wind, rain, and freezing releases particles of rock and phosphate into the soil.
