What is the only biogeochemical cycle which does not pass through the atmosphere?
Phosphorus. "Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based compounds are usually solids at the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth." - However, phosphorus WILL cycle through organisms and water. Water does (evaporation and precipitation both include the atmosphere). Carbon does (carbon dioxide is the third most common substance in the atmosphere). Nitrogen does (nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere; Nitrogen-fixers depend on this fact).
What is the role of bacteria in the phosphorus cycle?
Well............ In phosphorus cycle bacteria decomposes dead organisms and also fossils and phosphorus is available in organisms so when bacteria decompose them phosphorus is released
How does phosphorus cycle work in the arctic tundra?
If you are worried about the fact that this is a [2+2] cycloaddition, which you would expect to be forbidden, I would suggest (though this is out of my area) that the re-hybridisation of the phosphorus atom may be relevant, since the use of a d-orbital introduces an additional nodal plane.
Why the phosphorus cycle is not an atmospheric cycle?
Phosphorus, often leached from rocks and minerals, is an important component of soils. Phosphorus does not have an atmospheric form, so it is most often transported by water. Inorganic phosphorus is taken in by plants, incorporated into organic compounds, and moves up the food chain. Phosphorus is returned to the soil and rock cycle through decomposition of waste.
Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
How would you describe tge phosphorus cycle?
The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
What is different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycle?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.

The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.

The phosphorus cycle!

Is the phosphorus cycle open or closed?
Closed cycle
