Soil Temperature and Plant Growth
5
Flashcards
0/5
5°C to 15°C
Increased microbial activity, better conditions for plant root growth, moderate nutrient availability.
Above 30°C
Microbial activity can decrease if moisture is limited, plant roots may suffer heat stress, potential for increased evaporation and soil organic matter loss.
15°C to 25°C
Optimal microbial activity, increased plant growth, high nutrient uptake.
0°C to 5°C
Slow microbial activity, seed germination is possible but slow, limited nutrient availability.
Below 0°C
Soil is frozen, limited microbial activity, and impeded plant growth.
