∙ 6y agoThe element phosphorus has limited uses because it is dangerously reactive and poisonous. The red form is used in the striking strip for safety matches, and the white form in flares and incendiary devices. If we consider its compounds then there are far more uses, most notably as phosphates in fertilizers.

Why is phosphorous often a limiting factor in environments?
Phosphorous is often a limiting factor in environments because plants need phosphorous to maintain their cellular biology. If there is insufficient phosphorous, plants will be stunted or not grow at all. If there is too much phosphorous, plants also have a difficult time or won't grow. Phosphorous uptake is not something that plants can control with certainty, and phosphorous could be a limiting nutrient in a given area under study.
