HI
What components must a soil have in order to support plant life?
The soil needs nutrients and soil fertility to supply plant life.-----------------------The three most common are Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium. The ratios listed on fertilizers are these three. It the NPK ratio.Plants also utilize a lot of different trace elements.Phloem

Why is plant life dependent on soil?
Plant life is dependent on soil because plants are rooted in the soil and get their life-sustaining nutrients from it.
How does soil fertility and pH affect the ability of soil to support plant life?
In general, a plant cell sap has 6 pH value. That means it works well in a slightly acidic medium. Thus, soil having more than 7 pH becomes alkaline. Increased alkalinity or acidity affect the metabolic activities in plants. Likewise soil fertility also affect plant life. A fertile soil and neutral pH help in better plant metabolism. Hence their optimum values are congenial to plant life.

When erosion and other factors cause soil to lose its ability to hold water and other nutrients and to support plant life?
Deforestation
Why is it important to know the soil structure of a particular area?
it is important to understand the soil structure in order to make sure that you plant the right type of plant. Also, if you are building something on top, you want to make sure that the soil is stable and able to support the weight of the structure
Can a plant grow with a little bit of soil?
It depends what plant but some can as long as they have support, nutrients, and water from that little amount of soil.
What is infertile soil?
Fertile soil is soil that is able to sustain plant life.
