Deep Rooted Plants Aid Soil

Plants that root deep, including
trees and some grasses, are important agents in enriching the surface:
soil, the department of agriculture
has found. The deep-ranging roots
draw from the deeper layers of the
soil the various plant nutrients,
particularly minerals. When the
plant dies and decays these are returned to the soil, but are concentrated in the top layers where
shallow-rooting _~ can draw on
them.
