Short Notes on Clay-Humus Complex
Article shared by :
This article provides short notes on clay-humus complex. It is evident that various clay minerals can bind humus substances through some linkages known as clay-humus complex. Many investigators consider that the complexes between humus substances and clays are probably formed by bridging through the exchangeable cations like Ca, Mg and Al. Besides this, they also […]
Mechanism of Ion Translocation across the Root Tissue
Article shared by :
After reading this article you will learn about the mechanism of ion translocation across the root tissue. Nutrients in the soil solution enter the root either through diffusion or convection, initially through an epidermal layer of cells (outer side). They next pass through a layer of cortical cells with endodermis at the inner boundary. Beyond […]
