Importance of Nutrient Cycling All living organisms, biomolecules and cells are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus. These elements are essential for life. It is important to recycle and continuously replenish nutrients into the environment for life to exist. Nutrien...
Soil enzymes regulate ecosystem functioning and in particular play a key role in nutrient cycling. In this review we briefly summarise potential roles of selected enzymes such as amylase, arylsulphatases, beta;-glucosidase, cellulose, chitinase, dehydrogenase, phosphatase, protease and urease in the ...
An example of a biotic factor is the extent ofpredationin an ecosystem. If there is an increase in the number of predators, predation activity would likely increase. This, in turn, could significantly lessen thepopulation densityof their prey. If their prey is akey species, meaning another gro...
Biome, the largest geographic biotic unit, a major community of plants and animals with similar life forms and environmental conditions. It includes various communities and is named for the dominant type of vegetation, such as grassland or coniferous for
Community, in biology, an interacting group of various species in a common location. For example, a forest of trees and undergrowth plants with animals, bacteria, and fungi makes up a biological community. It differs from an ecosystem, which consists of

Fungi, in general, tend to dominate over bacteria and actinomycetes in acidic soils as they can tolerate a wider range of pH levels. Positive effects of fungi in Soil Fungi play essential roles in the soil where they help in nutrient cycling, water dynamics, and disease suppression, all of ...
This nutrient cycling enriches soils, promoting fertility and supporting plant growth in different areas, ultimately contributing to healthier ecosystems. Geomorphological Changes: Even the deadliest tornado reshapes the land surface through erosion and deposition, leading to diverse landforms and geological ...
