Phosphorous is a highly reactive element and is not found in nature. Indeed some varieties of phosphorous will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air.
As an element, is cannot be transformed, or changed into anything.
This element is commonly found in bones, and thus bird guano contains a concentration of phosphorous compounds, (from the fish the birds ate) and which may be easily released into agriculture.
The 'rag and bone' man of the 18th and 19th centuries collected the scrap household bones for fertilizer manufacture.
What else can I help you with?
How might an organism use its environment for food and supplies?

What change might you observe after phosphorus and hydrogen react to form the compound phosphine?

How does a cast fossil form?
When the animal dies its skeleton settles on the sea floor and is buried by sediment. that thickens and begins to turn to stone. The skeleton dissolves and a mold is formed. Minerals crystallize inside the mold and the cast is formed.
Why is the elements or compounds in the phosphorus cycle important to living things?
Phosphorus is essential to living organisms because it forms part of important life sustaining molecules such as DNA, RNA, and ATP .
