Since starting this blog, I have wanted to share random little bits of natural knowledge, but have lacked the motivation and time to get anything organized. BUT I have decided to SLACK NO MORE and grabbed a notebook from school and am prepared to share a very small tidbit of knowledge with you. Hopefully this will become a bit of a trend as I have tons of books, tons of information and tons of knowledge, and you know what they say, "Use it or Lose it" and I am certainly not ok with losing it!
So without further adieu:
- WHERE DO SOIL NUTRIENTS COME FROM?
- Parent Material - often in a wet environment due to leaching
- Dryfall - dust from the atmosphere that is picked up from throughout the world
- Precipitation
- Volcanic Ash - can cause worldwide temperature changes
- Seepage Water - landscapes where water flows to the surface
- Nitrogen Fixation - N-fixing bacteria provide the nitrates/ammonia that plants require in the soil
Well, hope that satisfies your environmental curiosity for today!
