Soil - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Improper phosphate-to-potash ratio
      - Velvetleaf: Cleans excess methane
      - Ragweed: Phosphate/potash imbalance, copper problem indicator
    - - Quackgrass: Calcium deficiency
      - Quackgrass has a prolific root system, loosens soil
    - - Pursilane: Deficiency in active carbon
  - - - Ultimate deciding factor of lifespan and well-being
      - Cause of current state of health
    - - Soils grown from
      - Stage of maturity at harvest
      - Type of produce
        
        nutrition vs fuel
        
        Fatty/sugary
        
        energy form
        
        Healthy crops
        
        minerals, vitamins, enzymes
        
        extract more from raw foods
        
        devitalization
- - - - Manages fungal disorders
    - - Most from carbon dioxide and water, remaining from cosmic/solar energy, airborne nutrients
    - - Fertilizer must be compatible with microbes
        
        Once microbe is satisfied, it will take care of nutrient availability to plant
  - - - Imbalance in soil: Poor electrical ground
        
        Excess electrolytes or insulator nutrient deficiency creates resistance and depletion of soil
  - - - Igneous Rock (derived from magma)
        
        Basic
        
        Ca, Mg, P, S
        
        Ultrabasic
        
        Fe, Mn, Cu
        
        Rich Alluvian Soils
        
        Sigatoka River, Fiji
        
        Importance of Maintaining Organic Agriculture?
        
        Vs. Importance of Maintaining Nutrient Rich Soils?
        
        Acidic
        
        Si, K, Na
      - Soil Solution
- - - - Disrupts soil microbes
      - Destroys SOM
      - Affects water abosrbtion
      - Destroys soil fungi
      - Kills microorganisms
      - Accelerates oxidization
      - Releases nutrients
      - Compaction
  - - - Geology
        
        Raised mountains
        
        thicker vegetation
        
        geological activity (fresh mineral blankets)
        
        thin soils
        
        Gentle slopes
        
        Loss of valuable nutrients
        
        Abundant rainfall / high weathering rate
      - Climate
        
        Hot Climates (Tropical)
        
        Favor chemical weathering
        
        favor conversion of rock-forming minerals into clay
        
        Poor Agricultuaral soils
        
        Cold climates (Alpine/Polar)
        
        Good agricultural lands (rich in minerals)
        
        Delay chemical weathering
        
        Accelerate breakdown of rocks/minerals
