Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the phosphorus cycle of a terrestrial ecosystem:$1$. $c$ represents Producers (plants),which absorb phosphorus from the soil solution.$2$. Producers contribute to the litter fall $(d)$ which adds to the detritus $(a)$.$3$. Detritus $(a)$ decomposes and releases phosphorus back into the soil solution.$4$. $b$ represents Rock minerals,which are the natural reservoir of phosphorus and release it into the soil solution through weathering.Therefore,the correct sequence is $a$ = Detritus,$b$ = Rock minerals,$c$ = Producers,$d$ = Litter fall.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Decomposers	$(i)$ Bacteria
$(b)$ Primary productivity	$(ii)$ Consumers
$(c)$ Natural ecosystem	$(iii)$ Producers
$(d)$ Secondary productivity	$(iv)$ Forest
