Theoretically, and optimally, soil provides plants with protection from excessive amounts of cold, heat, light, moisture, and wind. It also provides plants with the necessary nutrients and water for the growth of roots and shoots. For food is taken up from the soil, by the roots, and up to the shoots. There, it plays its role in the photosynthetic interaction for the production of energizing starches and sugars by which plant activities are carried out. And it provides direction to root growth by its tunneled network of air and water pore spaces. And it also provides access of the plants to the soil food web. For the life within the soil removes exudates, which are the waste products of the plant. And the life within the soil, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nitogen-fixing nematodes, make present but unavailable nitrogen accessible to plant roots in the necessary soluble form.
