Decaying plants add nitrogen to the soil?
The dead animals and plants remain organs breaks down and that remains turn into carbon.
How does carbon move from plants and animals into the soil?
It is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis and animas eat plants which already have carbon.
What elements required by plants does NOT come directly from the soil?
carbon carbon carbon
How does carbon get soil?
Plants and animals are composed largely of carbon so when they die and decompose much of that carbon is put into the soil.
Decaying plant add carbon to the soil?
Carbon Cycle-short and sweet :)
How do you add organic nitrogen?
There are nitrogen fixing plants, such as legumes, that will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. When these plants die, they release nitrogen into the soil, making it available for other plants.
When plants die they decay they bring carbon into soil?
True! The carbon that was in a plant becomes part of the soil when the plant dies and decomposes.
Where do plants get carbon to make glucose?
the air is constantly getting in and out of the water.
What decay plants add to new soil?
nutrients
Why isn't carbon in fertilizers?
Plants obtain the carbon that they need in the form of carbon dioxide from the air, not from the soil. Even if carbon were added to fertiliser plants would be unable to make use of it.
Why do we add fertilizers and manures to the soil?
We add them - to increase the minerals and nutrients for the plants to grow in.
How does soil transform from bedrock to soil so that plants can grow in?
Bedrock cracks from weathering. Glaciers thousands of years ago created much of our soil by grinding up the rocks to sand. Plants and dead animals add organic material so that the soil can be used by plants. Some plants will grow in sand, others need richer black soil. Humans and animals add their wastes to the soil.
