21. Half of the value went to nutrient cycling . 22. The nutrient cycle is nature's recycling system. 23. Thus, much of the nutrient cycling and disease suppression needed by plants occurs immediately adjacent to roots. 24. Thus, they play a very significant role in nutrient cycling and carbon dioxide production of forest ecosystems. 25. Current research is being done on forest ecosystem productivity, wind disturbance, nutrient cycling , and global carbon cycling. 26. Mycoplankton are mineralization and nutrient cycling . 27. They provide critical ecosystem services by seed dispersing and by being ecological engineers through herbivory and nutrient cycling . 28. This drives nutrient cycling , and provides favorable microclimates for many animals and plants, such as the pygmy marmoset. 29. Variations in primary production in the NPSG can significantly affect nutrient cycling , food-web dynamics, and global elemental fluxes. 30. This is because soil respiration plays a large role in global carbon cycling as well as other nutrient cycles .
