This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeList two natural, biotic processes by which phosphorus is cycling in the phosphorus cycle diagram.

5.0 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeList two natural, abiotic processes by which phosphorus is cycling in the phosphorus cycle diagram. If this were the carbon cycle, gas exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean would be an abiotic process that cycles carbon.
