Book Description
Excerpt from The Mineral Composition of Soil Particles Another matter of interest is the influence of the manner of the formation of the soil and of climate upon the distribution of the sev eral mineral nutrients. The past history of the soil greatly affects its mechanical and mineralogical composition. How it will affect the distribution of the plant-food constituents is not always obvious. For some time investigators have recognized that the groups of various sized particles ofa soil may differ in chemical composition. Considerable attention has been given to certain phases of the subject; but it has not as a whole received the detailed study that it deserves. Much of the analytical work that has been done upon the mechanical separates of soils has been by treatment with some conventional strength of hydrochloric acid. Such work is a study of solution and not of ultimate composition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
