I've watched a lot of phosphorus cycle videos trying to study and this one by far had the best visual representation and I feel like I understand it a lot better now
This is so simple yet really easy to understand. Thank you for making this. This was like the tenth video I watched on the phosphorus cycle and is the only one that helped.
"Non-chemical means of fertilising soil" is simplistic. He means improving soil structure using plants and animal waste locally, and reducing physical loss of soil into watercourses are the way to reduce risk of eutrophication events.
Really good to have said the problems with increasing phosphorus in soil. Is there any issues with plants absorbing a lot of phosphorus other than breaking of the food chain. I mean inside the plant body, like any restrictions to uptake other nutrients?
Question - When birds like chickens and turkeys eat up little rocks (like the granite grit they sell in stores) then slowly crush up those rocks in their crop, do they release trapped phosphorus into a plant available form or are they just cycling the phosphorus that was already biologically integrated?
Hey, LOVE the video and was just wondering if I could use this as an example to present to my class. This explains everything that I wanted to explain, just in a better way. If you could let me use it that would be great. I would reference you and you would help me out massively. Thanks :)
Every few months I get a comment like this. The reason I don't post the answers is because as a teacher, I want my students to actually take the time to search for the answers. If I just posted the answers, most wouldn't do the research themselves.
Would it be better if farmers promote phosphorus utilizing microorganisms to maximize existing natural phosphorus rather than over fertilizing with phosphorus?
I'm from Michigan. The way he says "rocks" sounds exactly how everyone I know says rocks. I was waiting for him t sound weird, but he never did. Must be a midwesterner.
Phosphorus is the name of the morning star. So let's look at this for a second. Why would you say that it doesn't appear in the atmosphere? The evening star which is the same (currently your Venus) is called Hesperus. Please correct your understanding of Phosphorus.
