It does not have an atmospheric reservoir.

Explanation: Phosphorus cycles mainly between rocks, soils, water, and living organisms as phosphate (PO4^3−). There is no significant gaseous phase like in the carbon or nitrogen cycles. Phosphorus is assimilated by organisms and released by decomposition, and long-term cycling involves weathering of rocks and sedimentation in oceans.
