TL;DR: In this article, the Soil as a Plant Nutrient Medium is discussed and the importance of water relations in plant growth and crop production, and the role of water as a plant nutrient medium.

Iron availability in plant tissues — iron chlorosis on calcareous soils
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe factors and processes which lead to Fe chlorosis (lime chlorosis) in plants grown on calcareous soils and show that chlorosis is not only related to Fe uptake by roots and Fe translocation from the roots to the upper plant parts but also dependent on the efficiency of Fe in the leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil pH increase due to biological decarboxylation of organic anions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of organic anions, glycine as a representative of amino acids, and glucose as representative of carbohydrates on soil pH in aerobic incubation experiments were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
The central role of microbial activity for iron acquisition in maize and sunflower.
TL;DR: Investigation of the role of microbial soil activity in plant Fe acquisition found plants cultivated under non-sterile conditions grew well, showed no Fe-deficiency symptoms and had fairly high Fe concentrations in the roots in contrast to plants grown in the sterile medium.
