The diagram details how plant roots absorb nutrients underground. Generally, nutrients, which originate from organic matter, are only obtainable when they are soluble in water, and to reach that state, the nutrients will be modified by separate layers of biomass.
At first, dead creatures are decomposed by a special chemical called exoenzyme, then consumed by microbes, a type of microorganism, to create the first form of nutrients, which is next conveyed to the first biomass (microbial biomass). During such a stage, a portion of the compound bypasses the water barrier to reach the root. Afterward, the substance undergoes alteration in 2 different biomass areas that are home to 2 types of creatures.
In the first major biomass (microbial), the nutrients are processed by lichens and weeds to produce a new form of nutrients that are then transported to the second biomass. Upon the compound’s arrival at the second biomass, some of it returns to the first one through the water barrier and while doing so, they are absorbed by plant roots. The phase in the microbivore biomass occurs roughly the same as the former one, except for the nutrients being refined by insects and worms, and they go back to the first biomass rather than the second one when they reach the third one. For the microbivore predator biomass, the nutrients are consumed by larger animals like ants and cockroaches, and once these creatures excrete, the nutrients will feed the members of the third biomass, making it self-sufficient.
