Mineralization of nitrogen decreases if the water filled
pore space is below
50%.
Soil carbon mineralization increases as the moisture
content of the soil
increases to a certain level and may drop if soil is fully saturated with water.
Nitrifying bacteria that obtain carbon from carbon dioxide
prefer reduced
zone to nitrify nitrogen to available form.
An extremely acid soil generally limits the availability of many nutrients in the soil.
True or False
The high acidity of the soil means less capacity to bind positively charged ions.
