Aridity Emerges as Key Driver of Nitrogen-Fixing Plant Diversity and Survival
Nitrogen-fixing plants are essential players in ecosystems worldwide. By forming partnerships with bacteria, these plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms…
Fertilizer
Fertilizers are natural or synthetic substances that are applied to soil or plants to provide essential nutrients needed for growth. These nutrients, primarily nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), are often referred to as NPK and are crucial for plant development. Fertilizers can be organic, derived from natural sources like compost, manure, or bone meal, or inorganic, manufactured through chemical processes.
