The nitrogen cycle is the process where nitrogen transforms to its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. 78% of Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen.
In a tundra, snow controls the nitrogen cycle. Snow causes an abundance of nitrogen. This is because snow forms in the atmosphere, and since the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, snow can absorb a fair amount of it.
Nitrogen from dead animals exists in the permafrost, which is a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year. When the permafrost thaws, it is released into the air causing an excess of nitrogen. Nitrogen cycles are inter linked to carbon cycles because the decomposition of carbon in organic soil by microbes and the photosynthetic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide by plants is depended on the nitrogen available in the area.

What is another name for nutrient cycles in ecosystems?
The dead organic matter are an example of nutrient cycle and can sometimes be buried under sediment, rendering the carbon unavailable to living organisms.
A nutrient that is scarce or cycle slowly through an ecosystem is called?
the substance is a limiting factor, but im not sure at all__________________________________________orLimiting nutrient- single nutrient that either is scarce or cycles very slowly, limiting the growth of organisms in an ecosystem.
What are vast treeless plains called?
Tundra
What is the coldest biome in the world?
Earth's coldest biome is called the tundra.
What are microorganisms and why are they important?
Microorganisms and microscopic organisms. They are important to biodiversity because they act as decomposers in ecosystems that nutrient recycle and they also play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

What is the water cycle in the tundra?
The water cycle in a tundra is that when the plants give out water it evaporates then it snows.

What is the role of the tree in the nutrient cycle?
you need oxygen to breath so that is how the nutrient cycle is important.

Which biome has a thin layer of nutrient poor soil and shallow rooted plants?
The tundra
How do human activities affect a nutrient cycle?
Human activities effect a nutrient cycle by increasing the amounts of nutrients in the cycle faster then natural biotic and abiotic processes can move them back to the stores.

limiting nutrient
What nutrient tends to cycle within a single ecosystem?
