Leaf Me Alone! The Movement of Nutrients Between Trees and the Soil (Spanish)
SHARE
In this study, the scientists studied trees growing on Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea. The scientists wanted to know if different trees contribute different amounts of nutrients to the soil. By learning if some kinds of trees contribute more nutrients to the soil, the scientists could determine if those kinds of trees should be planted in areas where the soil needs more nutrients.
