Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The enhancement of soil fertility through cation exchange process.
Introduction:
The earth’s uppermost layer that supports the growth of plants is called soil. The soil varies in composition from place to place in terms of the number and amount of nutrients present, water content, and the size of soil particles.
