  2. Potassium cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_cycle

    The hydrosphere is the largest reservoir for potassium, holding an estimated 552.7 x 10 12 tonnes (552.7x10 6 Tg). [2] Leaching and erosion carry 1.4 x 10 9 tonnes (1400 Tg) yr −1 of potassium in soil solution into groundwater, rivers, and oceans. [2] Some potassium in the atmosphere also enters the hydrosphere through precipitation.

  3. Leaching (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaching_(chemistry)

    Biological substances can experience leaching themselves, [2] as well as be used for leaching as part of the solvent substance to recover heavy metals. [6] Many plants experience leaching of phenolics, carbohydrates, and amino acids, and can experience as much as 30% mass loss from leaching, [5] just from sources of water such as rain, dew, mist, and fog.

  4. Leaching (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaching_(agriculture)

    In agriculture, leaching is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due to rain and irrigation. Soil structure , crop planting, type and application rates of fertilizers , and other factors are taken into account to avoid excessive nutrient loss.

  5. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    The potassium ion (K +) is highly mobile and can aid in balancing the anion (negative) charges within the plant. A relationship between potassium nutrition and cold resistance has been found in several tree species, including two species of spruce. [12] Potassium helps in fruit coloration, shape and also increases its brix. Hence, quality ...

  6. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

  7. Decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition

    A basic guide for the effect of environment on decomposition is given as Casper's Law (or Ratio): if all other factors are equal, then, when there is free access of air a body decomposes twice as fast as if immersed in water and eight times faster than if buried in the earth. Ultimately, the rate of bacterial decomposition acting on the tissue ...

  9. Parboiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parboiling

    Parboiling (or leaching) is the partial or semi boiling of food as the first step in cooking. The word is from the Old French parbouillir , 'to boil thoroughly' but by mistaken association with "part", it has acquired its current meaning.
