Course: Ecology and Environmental Management (18003-36) > Section: Protecting the Environment – Soil

Interpretation should include relevant information based upon the future use of the land, such as

- Nitrogen level
- Phosphorus level
- Potassium level
- pH level
- crop(s) to be grown
- soil features
- lime/sulfur levels.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What types of soil amendments could be added to alkaline soils to decrease the pH?
- What types of soil amendments could be added to acidic soils to increase the pH?
- When is it essential to add nutrients to soil?
- How does the pH of a soil affect plant nutrient uptake and growth?
