“A nutrient cycle is defined as the cyclic pathway by which nutrients pass-through, in order to be recycled and reutilised. The pathway comprises cells, organisms, community and ecosystem.” In the process, nutrients get absorbed, transferred, released and reabsorbed.
Conceptual Diagram of a Nutrient Cycle. This diagram shows the major elements of a nutrient cycle for a particular ecosystem, such as a watershed. Each box represents a compartment (atmosphere, soil and rocks, organic material, and available nutrients) that contains a quantity of material.
A nutrient cycle (or ecological recycling) is the movement and exchange of inorganic and organic matter back into the production of matter. Energy flow is a unidirectional and noncyclic pathway, whereas the movement of mineral nutrients is cyclic.
Explain what nutrients are and give examples. Discuss the concept of nutrient cycling and describe important compartments and fluxes. Describe factors that affect the development of major soil types.
18 Ιαν 2024 · Nutrient cycles, also known as biogeochemical cycles, describe the movement of chemical elements through different media, such as the atmosphere, soil, rocks, bodies of water, and organisms. Nutrient cycles keep essential elements available to plants and other organisms.
19 Σεπ 2024 · The major nutrient cycles include the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, oxygen cycle, and water cycle. In each cycle, some processes move nutrients through biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems, frequently impacting ecological processes in supporting life.
25 Ιαν 2023 · Examples of nutrient cycles are the carbon cycle, oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle, water cycle, phosphorus cycle, etc. There are three types of nutrient cycles that are observed in an ecosystem based on their reservoirs. Gaseous Cycles: In these cycles, the main reservoirs of chemicals are the atmosphere and ocean.
