Alfisol, the second most productive soil, is also found very frequently. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964584 2018-01-19 22:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964584 Most soil is only made up of about half soil. The rest is made up of empty space in the soil. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964815 2018-01-19 22:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964815 There are constantly millions of things going on in the soil and is home to many living things. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964901 2018-01-19 22:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964901 A large amount of microorganisms live in the soil, the soil itself is an ecosystem. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964988 2018-01-19 22:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222964988 Carbon is turned into carbohydrates in the soil which is used an consumed by the microorganisms for energy. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965074 2018-01-19 22:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965074 The root system protects the plants from dangerous organisms. It also provides the plant with nutrients and water, while providing the soil with other necessities. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965214 2018-01-19 22:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965214 Most organic material that is grown through photosynthesis is broken down by the soil when dead. Then it is used as nutrients for other such things. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965415 2018-01-19 22:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965415 Fungi actively mine nutrients out of stone and rock, it is one of the only things that is capable of doing that. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965537 2018-01-19 22:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965537 Some fungi create mushrooms with the nutrients that they take in, however this is not true for all types of fungi. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965760 2018-01-19 22:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965760 Nitrogen is available in the air, it makes up 70% of the atmosphere. However is is very stable and not usually available. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965896 2018-01-19 22:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965896 A certain type of bacteria is able to take the nitrogen from the atmosphere. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965945 2018-01-19 22:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222965945 Plants have a relationship with the bacteria so that they may have access to and use the nitrogen provided by the bacteria. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966017 2018-01-19 22:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966017 Organic farming allows for a surplus of crops, while allowing the soil to be used again in the future. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966598 2018-01-19 22:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966598 Farmers need to find out what kind of soil they need to grow their crops without using pesticides for the best product. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966733 2018-01-19 22:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966733 Nitrogen used to be the greatest limiting factor in agriculture. loughparker2018 https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966895 2018-01-19 22:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/loughparker2018/yi84debppyr8/wish/222966895
