Why are the phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen cycles important to the environment?
Phosphorus cycle Unlike other cycles of matter compounds, phosphorus cannot be found in air as a gas. This is because at normal temperature and circumstances, it is a solid in the form of red and white phosphorus. It usually cycles through water, soil and sediments. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals in the form of ions. Phosphorus forms parts of important life sustaining molecules but is not very common in the biosphere. Phosphorus does not enter the atmosphere, remaining mostly on land and in rock and soil minerals. So, phosphorous cycle is very important to circulate phosphorous in plants as well as whole of the atmosphere coz it occurs as solid and not as gas. Carbon cycle It is one of the most important cycles of the earth and allows for the most abundant element,i.e., carbon to be recycled and reused throughout the biosphere and all of its organisms.The global carbon budget is the balance of the exchanges (incomes and losses) of carbon between the carbon r
