  2. 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 ...

  3. Sulfur assimilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_assimilation

    Sulfur assimilation is the process by which living organisms incorporate sulfur into their biological molecules. [1] In plants, sulfate is absorbed by the roots and then transported to the chloroplasts by the transipration stream where the sulfur are reduced to sulfide with the help of a series of enzymatic reactions .

  4. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Plants take up essential elements from the soil through their roots and from the air through their leaves. Nutrient uptake in the soil is achieved by cation exchange, wherein root hairs pump hydrogen ions (H +) into the soil through proton pumps. These hydrogen ions displace cations attached to negatively charged soil particles so that the ...

  5. Seed dormancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dormancy

    True dormancy or inherent (or innate) dormancy is caused by conditions within the seed that prevent germination even if the conditions are favorable. [7] Imposed dormancy is caused by the external conditions that remain unsuitable for germination [8] Seed dormancy can be divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous. [9]

  6. Soil organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_organic_matter

    SOM increases soil fertility by providing cation exchange sites and being a reserve of plant nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S), along with micronutrients, which the mineralization of SOM slowly releases. As such, the amount of SOM and soil fertility are significantly correlated. [3]

  7. Soil fertility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_fertility

    Soil fertility and depletion have different origins and consequences in various parts of the world. The intentional creation of dark earth in the Amazon promotes the important relationship between indigenous communities and their land. In African and Middle Eastern regions, humans and the environment are also altered due to soil depletion.
