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.
A limiting nutrient is to ecosystem productivity as a limiting factor is to population?
growth rate
If a nutrient is in short supply in an ecosystem how will it affect an organism?
Nutrients are essential for us to live. Without them, we would eventually die. When we are short of a nutrient, we would suffer from disorders associated with low intakes of that nutrient. For example, low iron intakes may mea one becomes anemic; low intakes of vitamin C can result in scurvy; and low intakes of vitamin D can result in rickets during development stages for children. Each nutrient has its deficiency. So, by eating a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients means we are getting what we need to stay healthy.

What is nitrogen's limiting nutrient?
In Ecology, limiting nutrients are compounds that affect growth or success of a population. One such nutrient, found in marine ecosystems, is nitrogen. Nitrogen IS the limiting nutrient - it does not have one.
