The Carbon Cycle
All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks. Because the Earth is a dynamic place, carbon does not stay still.
The Nitrogen Cycle
Most of what you just inhaled is nitrogen. In fact, 80% of the air in our atmosphere is made of nitrogen. Your body does not use the nitrogen that you inhale with each breath. But, like all living things, your body needs nitrogen. Your body gets the nitrogen it needs to grow from food.
Phosphorus Cycle
Phosphorus enters the environment from rocks or deposits laid down on the earth many years ago. The phosphate rock is commercially available form is called apatite. Other deposits may be from fossilized bone or bird droppings called guano. Weathering and erosion of rocks gradually releases phosphorus as phosphate ions which are soluble in water. Land plants need phosphate as a fertilizer or nutrient.

Following the harmful event, the vegetation and plants regenerate from the pre-existing soil, minerals, roots and seed banks. Invading outsider species of plants may also take the place of vegetation that has been damaged or wiped out. Abiotic factors in the tropical rainforest they are dead things in the forest such as rocks, and water. they are there to provide for the habitat of the animals.
