What happens when you grow two of the same plants in two different soils?
If one soil has nutrients that plant will thrive. If the other has no nutrients the plant will shrivel up and die.
How does a plant get a supply of mineral salt?
Plants absorb mineral salts from soils and waters.
How do ecosystems that have no light manage to survive?
they survive on the oils and nutrients supplied by soils, water etc
What element is found in most soils and is essential for plant growth?
nitrogen
How does NaCl affect plant growth?
Many plants are negatively affected by saline soils.
What does sandy soils have?
A free draining consistency, and a lack of plant nutrients.
Sandy soils does what?
A free draining consistency, and a lack of plant nutrients.
Which element is an essential nutrients for plant growth and is found in most soils?
Nitrogen. or potassium
How do you fertilise sandy soil?
You should either fertilize sandy soils with slow release fertilizers, like organic fertilizers, or add nutrients slowly with irrigation water. Sandy soils have less ability to hold nutrients than other soils, and soluble nutrients can leach out very quickly.
How does a plant get a supply of mineral salts?
Plants extract the needed salts from soils.

What info can you get on a plant project with three different soils?

Do Tropical soils contain lots of nutrients?
No, they do not. They are "old soils" and contain very few nutrients.
How does this explain how soils absorbs plant nutrients?
As you know that water is a universal solvent, so it dissolves almost every thing. So, as the water is absorbed by soil, automatically plant nutrients are also absorbed by the soil.
Why do clay and organic soils hold nutrient better then sandy soils?
Clay and organic soils hold nutrients better then sandy soils because the sandy soils as the water drains away, the water will carry the nutrients with it. This is called leaching and the nutrients will not be available for the plants to use.
What is infernity?
Infertile soils lack abundant plant nutrients, especially for agricultural crops. It doesn't mean they're unsuitable for plant growth, but the only plants that naturally grow on them are those that can either do with few nutrients, or can get their nutrients from pools that are unavailable to most plants.
