The phosphorus cycle is a limiting factor.

Explanation:

The phosphorus cycle is a cycle that happens over a long period of time. Any phosphorus used by an organism will take a relatively long time to become usable again. In that way, phosphorus limits the amount of biodiversity in an area since there's only so much phosphorus available in an area at a given time.
