Summary Introduction
To review:
The factors affecting the ability of a plant to absorb minerals from the soil.
Introduction:
Plants absorb all nutrients that are required for growth from the soil. Different types of plants require different types of soils and nutritional components for their growth. There are numerous factors that can affect the capacity of a plant to absorb minerals from the soil. The soil texture, pH, water availability, light, and temperature are some examples of these factors.
