Smell is the most subtle of senses touched by spring. In spring there is the sweet fragrance of flowers, which is perhaps the first thing many think of. But my thoughts are drawn to subtler scents. In winter the sun is low and weak, giving little light and even less warmth.
Plants receive energy from light through a process of photosynthesis. This is how light affects the growth of a plant. Without light, a plant would not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow.he makeup of a soil and its acidity determine the extent to which nutrients are available to plants. This pie grapgh informs us what is in the soil and how its composition is layed out. This pie graph was created on Chart Tool.
Roots act like sponges to absorb soil moisture. Just as humans digest food for energy, plants use a number of absorption techniques to get the nutrients and moisture necessary for vigorous growth. As roots dive into the soil, they encounter air, water and nutrient reserves.In contrast, photosynthesizing leaves discover sunlight and air as they rise into the sky.ver a dozen nutrients, from nitrogen to iron, are available in the soil that plants must absorb to continually grow strong. The key to absorbing these nutrients is a soil environment rich in organic material, like compost.
