Chapter 23, Problem 4WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The outcomes of the choice of discarding the grass clippings or leaving them on the lawn would influence the nutrient content of soil.
Concept introduction:
Nutrient uptake is the process by which nutrients from external environment move into a plant. Plants obtain their nutrients from soil and air. Soil provides food, water, and nutrients to plants which are very essential for plant growth and development. Plants also obtain some essential nutrients from the atmosphere by the leaves.

When the soil is acidic, plants cannot grow on it.
True or False
Write T on the blank provided if the statement is correct. If it is false,
underline and replace the word(s) with the word(s) that will make the statement
true.
Calcium carbonate is highly soluble in water in which
calcium element is
easily release to correct soil pH.
The degree of fineness of lime is not dependent to the
speed of checking
soil acidity.
Carbon is released back to the atmosphere during
decomposition of organic
materials.
Mineralization of nitrogen decreases if the water filled
pore space is below
50%.
Soil carbon mineralization increases as the moisture
content of the soil
increases to a certain level and may drop if soil is fully saturated with water.
Nitrifying bacteria that obtain carbon from carbon dioxide
prefer reduced
zone to nitrify nitrogen to available form.
An extremely acid soil generally limits the availability of many nutrients in the soil.
