Questions:

1. Describe the processes involved in the transformation of solid minerals in rock into soluble nutrients in soil. What biological factors can influence the rate of this transformation?

2. Why is nitrogen often in short supply relative to other nutrients required by plants, despite being the most abundant element in the atmosphere? How does the supply of nitrogen change during terrestrial ecosystem development.

3. Which factor is more important in controlling the mean residence times and pools of nutrients in soil organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems: the rate of input (i.e., primary productivity) or the rate of decomposition? Would you expect to find larger nutrient pools in the soils of a tropical forest than in those of a boreal forest, given that primary productivity is higher in the tropics?

4. Why might you expect nutrient input from terrestrial and stream ecosystems to be more important in tropical lakes than in temperate zone lakes?
