Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
The phosphorus cycle differs from the carbon and nitrogen cycles in various ways. Phosphorus primarily cycles through the lithosphere, while carbon cycles through the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere, and nitrogen cycles through the atmosphere and biosphere. Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in ecosystems, while carbon and nitrogen are more abundant and play larger roles in atmospheric processes.
One way that the phosphorus cycle is different from other cycles is that it doesn't usually have a gas state. Phosphorus has small particles that sometimes go up into the atmosphere and contribute to acid rain but other then that phosphorus stays in and on land,sea, and in sediment
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
Both carbon and nitrogen are found in the air as gases and are readily absorbed by the body. Unlike them, phosphorus is not in the air as a gas but rather moves slowly from deposits on land and sediments, to living organisms, and then back into the soil and water sediment.
