3. There are 2 farmers. One farmer
plants crops with the nitrogen fixing
roots. The other plants crops without
such modified roots. How would the
type of crops affect the soil of the
plantation of the two farmers?
Answers
Answer:
Nitrogen in the Soil-Crop System
Nitrogen is ubiquitous in the environment. It is one of the most important plant nutrients and forms some of the most mobile compounds in the soil-crop system. Nitrogen is continually cycled among plants, soil organisms, soil organic matter, water, and the atmosphere (Figure 6-1). Nitrogen enters the soil from many different sources and leaves the root zone of the soil in many different ways. This flux of nitrogen into, out of, and within the soil takes place through complex biochemical transformations.
The mounting concerns related to agriculture's role in nitrogen delivery into the environment are reflected in several detailed reviews (Follett and Schimel, 1989; Follet et al., 1991; Hallberg, 1987, 1989b; Keeney, 1986a,b; Power and Schepers, 1989). A brief review of the nitrogen cycle and nitrogen budget or mass balance considerations is necessary to understand the options for management improvements in farming systems to mitigate the environmental impacts of nitrogen.
