Soil Nutrient Bioavailability: A Mechanistic Approach - Tapa dura

Examines the chemical and biological mechanisms that determine the availability of nutrients to plants. Barber develops a mathematical model for soil nutrient uptake, and discusses eleven plant and soil parameters that affect the rate of flow of the nutrient into the root. Offers practical guidance for applying this model in measuring uptake of 12 different nutrients for any crop and any soil condition.
