How do nutrients get into the soil?

Nutrients get into the soil through various natural processes such as decomposition of organic matter, weathering of rocks, and nitrogen-fixing by certain bacteria. Plants also play a significant role by taking up nutrients from the soil and, after they die, releasing them back into the soil as organic matter decomposes. Additionally, human activities like fertilization and crop rotation can also introduce nutrients into the soil.
