In a plot of soil untouched by human beings, the decaying growth from this year slowly breaks down into the basic soil nutrients over the next year (or two). Over many years, this keeps the soil's fertility in constant, steady replenishment. That is nature's way. If mankind steps in and takes over that soil, he can add naturally broken-down organic matter himself, and artificial fertilizers, too, which boost the amount of the most plant-necessary nutrients. Worst-case scenario: Man uses the soil to grow what he wants, and adds nothing. In a very few years, the soil is exhausted, and will grow nothing well, it is so poor. If man then abandons it, it will slowly (many years) and naturally build itself up again.

animals eat plants get the nutrients we eat the animal we get the nutrients
Nutrients from decomposed plants and animals go back into the?
Soil, to reproduce plants.
Do plants receive their nutrients chiefly from sunlight?
Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, but they get many of their nutrients from the soil. That is why farmers use fertilizer on their fields, and organic growers add compost to soil. As plants use nutrients from the soil, it needs to be replenished for the next crop.
How nutrients can be replenished in the soil without the use of fertilizers?
by manure.
One advantage of crop rotation is?
Nutrients in the soil are replenished.
Why should soil be replenished with nutrients?
because when a plant lives it draws nutrients out of the soil through it's roots to live, leaving less nutrients in the soil meaning there are less nutrients for other plants to grow at a later time. so to ensure future plant growth, you must replenish the nutriens.
What are some reasons plants need water?
Plants and animals consist of a high percentage of water. That water is constantly being released into the environment and needs to be replenished. Water is important in keeping the plants' leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits firm. Water also carries nutrients in the soil to the roots of plants to nourish them.
How does the oxygen in the atmosphere get replenished?
Oxygen is replenished or released in nature when green plants make the use of Carbon Dioxide to perform photosynthesis
How plants get nutrients?
