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