Influence of Forest Canopy on Soil Fertility
Forest trees generally influence the soil fertility underneath the tree canopies especially if situated on nutrient poor environment. Researchers have found enhanced soil fertility in the forms of island of fertility in the immediate surroundings of plants. Under most circumstances, canopy serves as nutrient trap whereby nutrients present in the fine dust particles slowly get […]
Role of Potassium in Alleviating Salinity
Potassium is one of the most plentiful plant nutrients in majority of soils and comprises about 2.6% of the earth’s crust. However, the maximum fraction of soil potassium is combined to basic and derived minerals, and therefore can’t be accessed by plants. Accessibility to plants is dependent on its transport from bound or transferable state […]
