5.6: Phosphorus Cycle - Biology LibreTexts
Phosphate-containing ocean sediments slowly move to land by the uplifting of areas of the earth’s surface. Excess phosphorus and nitrogen in the ecosystem leads to the death of many organisms, causing dead zones. Dead zones are caused by by eutrophication, oil spills, dumping of toxic chemicals, and other human activities.
