Question

in what ways can phosphorus be removed from the soil? select all that apply 15 points runoff & erosion plant residue leaching crop harvest submit

Explanation:

• Runoff & Erosion: Water runoff can carry phosphorus - rich soil particles away, removing phosphorus from the soil.
• Crop Harvest: When crops are harvested, the phosphorus that was taken up by the plants (stored in plant tissues) is removed from the soil.

Leaching is not a significant way for phosphorus removal as phosphorus has low solubility in water and does not leach easily. Plant residue actually adds phosphorus back to the soil as it decomposes.
