How does harvesting increase the amount of nitrogen in soil?
it doesn't, it only removes soil nitrogen
What organisms are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds and what is this process called?
Decomposers are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds, This continual transfer of nitrogen from the non living part of the environment to the living part and back again is called the nitrogen cycle.
Describe why nitrogen must cycle through an ecosystem?
Nitrogen must be cycled through an ecosystem so that the nitrogen is available for organisms to make proteins.
What nutrient do organsms tend to get from their local ecosystem?
Organisms tend to get phosphorus from their local ecosystem. An organism can also get nitrogen from its local ecosystem. Nitrogen is added to the organism's local ecosystem by bacteria from the air.
What does not increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil?
It doesn't. Harvesting removes soil nitrogen
Can lightning be a part of the ecosystem?
Yes. Lightening can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil, making nitrogen available to the plants and ultimately animals in an ecosystem.
How organisms put nitrogen back into the ecosystem?
nitrogen fixation. look it up
Nutrient enrichment of an aquatic ecosystem is called?
Eutrophication. This process involves an excessive influx of nutrients, usually nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to increased plant growth and algae blooms. It can negatively impact water quality and the balance of the ecosystem.
Ecosystem comprises only animals?
There is only one ecosystem the comprise with animals. The only ecosystem that comprises animal is nitrogen.
Can the nitrogen cycle run off from a terrestrial to an aquatic ecosystem and enrich the aquatic ecosystem?
Yes it can.
What is the process of nitrogen fixation in the nitrogen cycle and how does it contribute to the overall ecosystem balance?
Nitrogen fixation is the process where certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. This helps plants grow and provides essential nutrients for other organisms in the ecosystem. By contributing to the availability of nitrogen, nitrogen fixation helps maintain the balance of nutrients in the ecosystem, supporting the growth of plants and ultimately all living organisms.
Is nitrogen a limiting nutrient in the ecosystem?
Yes, nitrogen can be a limiting nutrient in ecosystems because it is essential for plant growth and can become scarce, affecting the overall productivity of the ecosystem.
