Definition… The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle (how phosphorus is in between life and earth) that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The atmosphere doesn’t play a significant role in phosphorus because phosphorus compounds are solids during the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth.

Phosphorus Cycle

Explanation of the Cycle Rocks start out the Phosphorus Cycle. When it rains, phosphates are removed from the rocks and are spread out through both soils and water. Plants use up phosphate ions from the soil. Phosphate moves from the plants to animals when herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat plants or herbivores.

Explanation of the Cycle continued…. Animals release the phosphate into the ground. It is then decomposed by bacteria and fungi. It then goes through the soil or releases into the water. As the rocks are forming they will either join with phosphate or the phosphate will go into the roots of plants and start the cycle over again.

Facts! Phosphorus is element number 15. It differs from other biogeochemical cycles because it does not include a gas phase. Humans can alter the phosphorus cycle by the cutting of tropical rain forests and through the use of agricultural fertilizers. Agricultural runoff provides much of the phosphate found in waterways. At one time the use of laundry detergents contributed to significant concentrations of phosphates in rivers, lakes, and streams, but most detergents no longer include phosphorus as an ingredient.

More Facts… Phosphorus is one of the most limiting elements in the ecological system. Phosphorus is involved in energy transfer and in the passage of the genetic information in the DNA. Because of phosphorus’ high reactivity, it exists in combined forms of other elements. Like calcium, phosphorus is important to the vertebrates. In the human body, 80% of phosphorus is found in teeth and bones.
