Mineralization (soil science) In soil science, mineralization is the decomposition (i.e., oxidation) of the chemical compounds in organic matter, by which the nutrients in those compounds are released in soluble inorganic forms that may be available to plants. [ 1][ 2] Mineralization is the opposite of immobilization .
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 ...
Underground stems are modified plant parts that derive from stem tissue but exist under the soil surface. [ 1] They function as storage tissues for food and nutrients, facilitate the propagation of new clones, and aid in perennation (survival from one growing season to the next). [ 2] Types of underground stems include bulbs, corms, rhizomes ...
Hydrangea ( / haɪˈdreɪndʒiə / ), [ 3] commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) tall, but some are small trees, and others ...

Ladder brake fern or Chinese brake fern: 26% of As in the soil removed after 20 weeks' plantation, about 90% As accumulated in fronds. Root extracts reduce arsenate to arsenite. As
Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs, such as photosynthetic algae, seaweeds or kelp. A closely related field is palynology, which is the study of fossilized and extant spores and pollen . Paleobotany is important in the reconstruction of ancient ecological ...
Mirabilis jalapa, the marvel of Peru[ 1] or four o'clock flower, is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis plant, and is available in a range of colors. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa (or Xalapa) is the state capital of Veracruz in México. Mirabilis jalapa was cultivated by the Aztecs for medicinal and ...
Arrowleaf elephant ear ( Xanthosoma sagittifolium ), clearly showing the characteristic spadix and spathe. The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract ).
