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.

What is the atmospheric cycle?
The atmospheric cycle is the exchange of heat between the sun and the surface of the earth. It is these atmospheric cycles that determine the weather.
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
Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
How is the phosphorus cycle like the nitrogen cycle?
Their resemblance is only a fact that the ratio of Nitrogen and Phosphorus remains constant on earth. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycle both are utilized by organisms, and in order to get the required nutrients from the atmosphere.
What cycle is guano an important part of?
Phosphorus
Does the nitrogen cycle have no atmospheric component?
phosphorus cycle is the only one with no atmospheric component.
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.
