Question

Inputs of P to terrestrial ecosystems are from Choose.. succession is slow because soil must be soil developed from parent Choose... Choose. Lignin Nitrification Disturbance Immobilization Inhibition Biological N fixation Facilitation Aluminumm Human N fixation Mineralization Secondary Nitrogen Primary Leaching Ion exchange Weathering Denitrification material N20 efflux often increases after deforestation because of an increase i Rates of decomposition are higher with litter that is high in Nutrient losses to streams increase after deforestation because of an increase in Nitrate is converted from ammonium through the process of

Explanation / Answer

1. Weathering. It is the breaking down of rocks , soils and minerals through contact with Earth's atmosphere.

2. Primary. Primary succession is slow because it begins on bare rock.

3. Mineralization / nitrification

4. Nitrogen. High C : N ratio results in poor decomposition.

5. Leaching. Leaching occurs when minerals dissolved in water are removed by rain water.

6. Nitrification. It is the process of conversion of ammonium into nitrate by nitrifying bacteria such as Nirosomonas and Nitrobacter.
