Nutrient cycles keep essential available to plants and other living organisms. The of these elements is critical to maintaining life on Earth. The carbon cycle, the nitrogen and water cycle all have important phases. The cycle lacks a true phase, and is slow and depends on the water cycle, also called the cycle.
