How is the phosphorus cycle different from the carbon and nitrogen cycle?

Answer 1

It's different from other cycles because it can't be found in the gas state, only on land, water and sediment

Answer 2

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.
