Question

Edaphic nutrient cycle includes

• A. Gaseous types
• B. Partial sedimentary types
• C. Total sedimentary types
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Edaphic nutrient cycle relates to the cycle, which involves the soil. The edaphic nutrient cycle involves several biogeochemical cycles like carbon cycle, phosphorus cycle, oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle and sulphur cycle. A nutrient cycle is the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of living matter. The process is regulated by food web pathways, that decompose matter into mineral nutrients. Nutrient cycles occur within ecosystems. Ecosystems are interconnected systems, where matter and energy flow and is exchanged as organisms feed digest and migrate about. Minerals and nutrients accumulate in varied densities and uneven configurations across the planet.

So, the correct answer is option D.
