Soil technology for planting on structure
Plant-soil relationship
Throughout the evolonary history of plants, sol has been
the medium in which plants grow. Soil provides the rail root
systems with a stable anchor for those pats ef the plant above
round, and caries the nutrients thatthe roots can extract to
stimulate the growth of pans.
What is soil?
Sols are particles of eroded rock that have been altered fom
the ongeal base geology by climate, water, macro and micro
foansms to become 2 granular mix of minerals and organic
‘matter. Organic matter is more abundant closest tothe surface,
{nd inorgane matter wil be found in lower horizons. The ich

where iit transformation has occured are the partly formed
subsoils.
