What else can I help you with?
What would happen if leaching did not occur?
top soil would be less fertile?
What is better sandy soil or clay soil?
It depends on what you would be using it for, so define the question.
How might it affect nutrient cycles in the soil?
Land development can disrupt nutrient cycles in soil by removing vegetation that replenishes nutrients, disrupting soil organisms that aid in nutrient recycling, and altering the water flow that transports nutrients through the soil. This can lead to nutrient depletion in the soil and affect plant growth and ecosystem health.
Maintaining the ferrility of soil by preventing erosion and nutrient loss in called?
Maintaining the fertility of soil by preventing erosion and nutrient loss is called soil conservation.
Define the term nutrient?
A nourishing substance or ingredient
What can be done to increase the nutrient int he soil?
to increase the soil nutrient is to get fertilizer and put it in the soil to get fertilizer you could get it from many stores like the home depot or lowe.
What human activity most clearly affects the nutrient balance of soil?
irrigating because you can clearly see that soil is nutrient and healty
How do you calculate fertilizer requirement on soil weight basis?
To calculate the fertilizer requirement on a soil weight basis, you need to first determine the nutrient content in the soil through soil testing. Once you have this information, you can calculate the amount of fertilizer needed to correct any nutrient deficiencies or meet crop requirements based on the recommended application rates. This calculation takes into account the desired nutrient concentration in the soil, crop nutrient uptake, and fertilizer nutrient content.
What are ways that soil compaction influences nutrient and water cycles?
Soil compaction can reduce pore space in the soil, limiting water infiltration and drainage which can lead to water logging and decreased oxygen levels in the soil. This can hinder root growth and nutrient uptake by plants. Compacted soil also limits microbial activity, which is crucial for nutrient cycling in the soil.
What does nutrient-poor soil mean?
It means that the soil lacks good nutrients
A soil with many nutrients that holds water poorly?
Sandy soil is typically nutrient-poor but drains well, whereas clay soil is nutrient-rich but often retains water. A soil that holds water poorly but has many nutrients may be loamy soil, which is a mix of sand, silt, and clay and offers good drainage while being nutrient-rich. Organic matter can also improve water retention in nutrient-rich soils.
What would happen to a plant if it grew in polluted soil?
If a plant grows in polluted soil, it may absorb toxins present in the soil, which can hinder its growth, development, and overall health. It may also accumulate these toxins in its tissues, making it unsafe to consume. Additionally, polluted soil can disrupt nutrient uptake and lead to nutrient deficiencies in the plant.
