Introduction to Soil Science / Importance of Soil Chemical Properties
"Soil chemical properties influence plant growth, microbial diversity, greenhouse gas emissions, and the movement and breakdown of nutrients and contaminants. Soil chemicals occur in solid, liquid, and gaseous phases, with especially important reactions occurring between soil solids and the soil solution. Understanding these reactions is essential for managing soil."
