Question

Phosphorus cycles within ecosystems,but the vast majority of phosphorus is stored where?
A) Land plants
B) Ocean Sediments
C) Mineable rock
D) Animals

Accepted Answer

The vast majority of phosphorus is stored in ocean sediments, with estimates suggesting that it constitutes as much as 99% of all phosphorus on Earth. While phosphorus does cycle through terrestrial ecosystems, it tends to remain relatively scarce in soils due to its low solubility, and is usually present only in trace amounts compared to oceans.
