Soil Fertility and Nutrition

Soil fertility refers to the ability of soil to provide essential nutrients to plants, enabling them to grow strong and healthy. In soil geography, this concept is vital, as different regions have varying soil types and compositions, which affect plant growth. Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are key for plants. Factors such as climate, vegetation, and human activity influence soil fertility. Healthy, fertile soil supports agriculture and ecosystems, whereas depleted soil can lead to poor plant growth and reduced agricultural productivity. Understanding soil fertility helps in sustainable land management and food security efforts.
