Microbes play a vital role in nutrient cycling from "summary" of The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health by David R. Montgomery,Anne Biklé
Microbes serve as the invisible architects of the natural world, orchestrating fundamental processes that sustain life on Earth. One of the crucial roles they play is in nutrient cycling, a complex system that involves the transformation and recycling of essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. These microbes possess the remarkable ability to break down organic matter into its basic components, releasing nutrients that plants can then absorb and utilize for their growth and development. Through a series of intricate biochemical reactions, microbes convert these nutrients into forms that are accessible to plants, facilitating the transfer of energy through the ecosystem. In addition to aiding in the decomposition of or...
