Sustainable Soil Chemistry and Plant Nutrition: Innovations and Applications explores the relationship between plants and soil, focusing on plant nutrition through the lens of soil chemistry and biochemical processes. This comprehensive guide explores nutrient exchange between soil and plants, the effective utilization of plant nutrients, and the role of essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, and rare earths. With emphasis on the interplay between soil science, plant nutrition, and related disciplines, this book dives into the spatial variations of soil properties, impacts of soil organisms on nutrient conversion, and the influence of environmental factors on soil processes and nutrient availability. In the detailed Table of Contents, readers will find a wealth of information covering topics such as macronutrient deficiencies, sustainable soil chemistry practices, plant uptake of soil nutrients, and the effects of soil pH on nutrient availability. Chapters also explore the role of micronutrients, redox reactions, soil minerals, and soil texture on plant nutrient accessibility, as well as strategies for manipulating soil fertility chemistry to enhance nutrient availability.
