The important features of a
sedimentary cycle in an ecosystem are
- The Earth’s crust
or rocks is the reservoir in the Sedimentary cycles
- There are some nutrient elements
are found in the sediments of the earth such as sulphur,
phosphorus, potassium, and calcium have sedimentary cycles.
- Sedimentary cycles take longer time
to complete their circulation and are considered as less perfect
cycles than other gaseous cycle. (because during recycling,
nutrient elements may get locked in the reservoir pool, thereby
taking a very long time to come out and continue circulation)
- There are some environmental
factors like temperature, soil, soil nature and moisture can
regulate the rate of release of nutrients.
