Complete the following sentences about how soil composition and pH impact plants alkaline hygroscopic water liming ravitational wate sulfur field capacity texture organic content nutrientspermanent wilting acidic available water point There are three types of water that occur in the soil: immediately after it rains) drains through pore spaces (bound to soil particles), and capillary water. Capillary water found in the pores of soil, is the type of water that plants typically absorb through their roots The amount of water a given area of soil retains after gravity has acted on rain water is called its (1) This amount is chiefly determined by the of the soil, though the soil's structure, and amount of water they need to function, the soil has reached the (2) between (1) and (2) is called can also be slightly influential. When plants are unable to absorb the The difference Soil pH is highly variable and can have a large effect on the diversity and availability of soil For instance, in highly soils nitrogen-fixing bacteria are absent, while in agricultural purposes, extreme soil pH is counteracted by more basic, and adding Is minerals such as iron and copper are often relatively unavailable. For to alkaline soils to make them more acidio. acidic soils to make themExplanation / Answer
Gravitational water....drains through pore spaces as soon as it rains and is not normally available for plants.
Hygroscopic water....is bound to the soil particles and is not avilable to plants.
Field capacity.... is the water that is retained by the soil after gravity has acted on it. It is mostly affected by the ....texture..... of the soil and the .....organic content. If the plants are unable to reach the water they need they have reached....wilting point... and the difference between field capacity and wilting point is .....avilable water.
Soil pH is highly variable.....soil nutrient...
