Question

question 1
the nutrients that support plant growth in natural terrestrial ecosystems are supplied mainly by
select one:
a. weathering of rocks
b. breakdown of detritus
c. chemosynthetic bacteria
d. eluviation

Explanation:

Weathering of rocks releases nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium into the soil which are essential for plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems. Breakdown of detritus mainly recycles nutrients already in the organic - matter pool. Chemosynthetic bacteria are involved in energy - production processes in certain extreme environments and eluviation is the process of leaching of minerals from the soil.

Answer:

a. weathering of rocks
