- Crucial for sustaining plant growth, nutrient availability, and overall ecosystem health
- Involves processes such as decomposition, mineralization, immobilization, and leaching
Pros
- Essential for nutrient availability in ecosystems
- Supports plant growth and productivity
- Contributes to overall ecosystem health and stability
