Nutrient Cycling: How Soil Microbes Support Plants

Nutrient Cycling: How Soil Microbes Support Plants
Text reads: "Nutrient cycling refers to the exchange of nutrients between living and nonliving sources. Oftentimes, microbes are the bridge between living and nonliving sources in biogeochemical cycles. Let’s review how microbes support plants with nitrogen and phosphorus cycling!"
This image illustrates the nitrogen cycle, and highlights the roll of bacteria in creating bioavailable nitrogen for plants.
This image illustrates the phosphorus cycle, and highlights the role of soil microbes in decomposition and creating bioavailable phosphorus.
Text reads: "Soil microbes are a vital part of nutrient cycling, and are the main reason plants have access to bioavailable nutrients. Everything works together, supporting each other. Which is why it’s important to consider soil health when taking care of your lawn or garden beds!"
