Why are soils classified in terms of solid phase rather than liquid or gaseous phases |
Because solids compose 45% of soil composition and is more stable in nature. |
|
Ions have what |
A charge |
|
Cations |
Postively Charged Ions ex. NH4+ |
|
Anions |
Negatively Charged Ions ex. NO3- |
|
Organic |
Contains Carbon |
|

|
4 Components of Soil |
1. Mineral - Solid 2. Organic (carbon) - Solid 3. Gaseous 4. Liquid |
|
Ca++ or Ca2+
|
Calcium - required plant nutrient - Macronutrient - Cation |
|
Mg++ or Mg2+
|
Magnesium - required plant nutrient - Macronutrient - Cation |
|
K+
|
Potassium - required plant nutrient - Macronutrient - Cation |
