Where can carnivorous plants be found growing?

Usually in bogs and other swampy areas where nitrate levels in the soil are very low.


Why will plants die if soil becomes compacted or saturated?

When soil becomes compacted the pore-space between the soil particles is reduced or removed entirely. Smaller (or no) pore spaces means that oxygen levels in the soil are decreased - almost 80% of a plants oxygen is obtained through exchange in the roots. Smaller (or no) pore spaces in the soil results in saturated or waterlogged soil, this in turn exacerbates the low oxygen levels by forcing even more air from the soil. The combination of low oxygen levels in the soil as well as the possibility of waterlogged soils results in the root system of the plant becoming compromised. Once the roots or root hairs are damaged the plant is not able to absorb water, nutrients or oxygen. General symptoms include wilting of the plant (as the root system is damaged and cannot absorb water), yellowing or basal leaves as the root membranes become damaged and osmosis cannot occur.


How carnivorous plants survive in areas with very low levels of nitrate?

they eat bugs to supplement the lack of available nutrients


What is land that is soft and wet and yields to pressure?

The land that is soft and wet and yields to pressure is called marshland or a marsh. It is characterized by waterlogged soil and the growth of wetland plants. Marshes are found in coastal areas, river floodplains, and other low-lying areas with high water levels.


Does ammonia have any health hazards?

Everyone is regularly exposed to low levels of ammonia in air, soil, water, and food. You can be exposed to higher levels of ammonia by breathing it or having skin contact with it.

How are leguminous plants able to survive in soil low in nitrate ions?

They have mutualistic relationships with fungi and bacteria that can split atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by the plants.


How does the presence of humus affect the soil?

[1] The amount of rain and snow fall has an effect on the amount of soil moisture. Too little moisture means stressed soils, soil food web, and plant roots. Too much moisture means waterlogged soils, rot, and bacterial and fungal diseases. [2] The level of heat, humidity, light, and wind has an effect on the rate of soil evapotranspiration rates. High levels, particularly in the absence of protective ground cover, means more moisture lost to soil through high evapotranspiration rates. [3] The amount of organic matter ka humus has an effect on soil drainage, fertility and structure. Low levels of humus means stressed soils lacking in some or more of the 16-17 nutrients whose presence indicates healthy soil. [4] The absemce or presence of slope has an effect on moisture infiltrating and percolating through soil; pooling; or running off. Ground at the downslope of an incline may pool moisture so that soil becomes waterlogged. Ground at the top of an incline may loose moisture to run-off.


Why are mangrove seeds viviparous?

Mangrove seeds are viviparous because the soil is anaerobic, which means that the dissolved oxygen levels are too low.

Do all nitrate containing compounds have a low solubility in water?

No, ALL nitrate salts are (very) soluble.


How long is a new fish tank considered mature?

For a freshwater tank, its safe to add fish after the the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are safe for fish. Ammonia and nitrite should be at 0 ppm and nitrate levels should be very low, under 50 ppm. You should also make sure that other parameters are safe for the species of fish that will be living in the tank.
