ReplyDeleteWhat do fish produce in the Nitrogen Circle? Use compost instead of fertilizer.
ReplyDeleteAmmonia. When fish come to lay their eggs, or spawn, what do they become a conveyor belt of?
ReplyDelete@ VQ, thank a fish when you see a tree because our planet depends on the processes they go through to sustain life.
ReplyDeleteWhen fish lay their eggs they become a conveyor belt of nutrients. How is fertilizer transported to lakes during the eutrophication process?
ReplyDeleteRainfall pushes the fertilizer into lakes from fields. When fish die they are layd to rest upon the banks of the river to decompose and become nutrience for plant life. Thank you dead fish for helping ugly plants.
ReplyDeletePrimary Productivity is the rate at which organic matter is created by producers. However, the Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created, nor destroyed. Is Primary Productivity an exception to this law? Or is the textbook writers verb usage inapropriot for this situation?
