Herbivores return phosphorus to the ecosystem primarily through their waste, such as feces and urine, which contain phosphorus compounds that can be broken down and made available to plants and microorganisms. Carnivores also contribute by excreting phosphorus in their waste after consuming herbivores or other animals, as well as through decomposition of their carcasses. In both cases, the recycling of phosphorus is essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting plant growth.
