Answer 2

Answer:

Disadvantages of water Logging

1. Poor Soil Aeration

Waterlogging causes the air within the soil to move out into the atmosphere, replacing it with more water.

2. It Alters the pH of the Soil

In the flooded soils, the pH changes and becomes more acidic. The soil, therefore, decreases in its alkalinity and makes the growth of plants more difficult. The increasingly acidic soil cannot support plant life.

3. Change in Soil Temperatures

Waterlogging lowers the temperature of the soil. Low temperatures of the moist soil, affect the microorganisms and their activities, subsequently lowering the rate of nitrogen-fixation.

4. Affecting Soil Nutrients

Nitrogen is vital to the soil and waterlogged soils suffer from nitrogen deficiency. The climate created by waterlogging affects not only the nitrogen nutrients but also other minerals such as sulphur, zinc, iron, phosphorous.etc.

Retarded Cultivation

There is difficulty in cultivating in waterlogged soils. All crops fail to survive because of the underlying conditions and as such, crops are adversely affected. Only rice can survive in such an environment.
