Nutrient depletion

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nutrient depletion is a form of

nutrient cycling and eventually the entire food chain.[2][3]

Nutrient depletion can refer to shifts in the relative nutrient composition and overall nutrient quantity (i.e. food abundance). Human activity has changed both in the natural environment extensively, usually with negative effects on wildlife flora and fauna.[4][5]

The opposite effect is known as

species abundance (usually a decline).[7]
The effects are bidirectional in that a shift in
species composition in a habitat may also lead to shift in the nutrient composition.[8]
