The phosphorus cycle is said to be imperfect as not all phosphates which are taken in are recycled and released back to atmosphere.
Explanation:
- This is because phosphorous can combine with Aluminium, Ferrous, and Calcium and form compounds with them.
- By combining these elements, these become unavailable and they cannot be taken up by plants.
- The phosphorus cycle can be described as movement of phosphorous through lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
