Why is phosphorous a limiting factor in many ecosystems?
It's not really...While phosphorous is an essential plant nutrient, very, very small amounts are needed by plants to grow. The introduction of phosphorous to cleaning agents like detergents, soaps and shampoos have introduced phosphorous into the natural landscape, usually in excess. Many ecosystems, like the Chesapeake Bay, suffer from nutrient pollution (nitrogen and phosphorous), which results in algal blooms and eutrophication.
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.
