how does the phosphorus move in the arrows labeled c

a
In soil uplifting and sea spray
b
By eating plants and animals
c
Through waste elimination and death and decomposition
d
Via evaporation in the atmospheric phase

In the arrows labeled "c," phosphorus moves through waste elimination, death, and decomposition. This means that when plants and animals excrete waste or die, the phosphorus contained in their bodies is released into the environment. Additionally, when organic matter decomposes, the phosphorus present in that matter is also released. Overall, this process contributes to the recycling and redistribution of phosphorus in the environment.
