I think that people would be interested in this site because of the
information on plant nutrition and how it is essential. Thefollowing
page elaborates on how soil is the primary source of a plant'sintake of
nutrients. It explains how plants use inorganic minerals fornutrition.
This would be helpful to those who want to learn more about aplant's
nutrition and what they need to survive today.

This URL location might be interesting to other studentsinvolved in
the botany field. There are several things to see on the firstpage. If you go
under the UWA Centre for Land Rehabilitation you will connect to aresearch
center in Austrailia. They have some neat research topics that arecurrently
underway including the function of mycorrhizal fungi in plants

This would be a great addition to the web site
because it would give any first-year Botany student an idea
as to what it takes to feed almost any plant in thebotanical
kingdom. It could also direct that student to other URLsto
give detailed description of what happens to that plantfood
after it is given to the plant.

This is a brand new URL that is very user friendly. It covers
all sorts of topics concerning plant nutrution and respiration. It
contains a collection of journals of related topics. It was very
interesting and informative reading.

This page will allow students to view plant nutrition from theother side of the
world!

This site discusses genetically engineered foods and how theycould effect
our lives. This is important to us because genetically engineeredfoods are
appearing on the market every day. Before we claim that theseplants and the
foods that they produce are the wave of the future, we need to knowwhat the
changes to these plants can do to the consumers.

This URL cite, entitled "What is Plant Nutrition?" describes, amongother
concepts, Arnon and Stout's criteria for essentiality and themacro- and micro-
nutrients considered to be essential for plant nutrition. Writtenby Dorothy
Morgan, a staff horticulturalist, this web site goes into fargreater detail
than our textbook on this subject

I found this web site interesting because researchers are findingnew
ways to use the things that we waste in ways to better the soil forplant
growth and nutrition.

Plant nutrition is the study of the uptake and utilization ofmineral nutrients
within plants. An understanding of these processes is veryimportant in bette
r understanding the ecosystem, agriculture, and horticulture.

It tells you anything you want to know from micronutrients tomacronutrients.
It talks about the types of mineral elements needed for adequateplant producti
on and those that help in better growth of plants. It also goesinto great det
ail about soil pH,about which is better for plant growth andsurvival. This UR
L is very interesting. It's something that everyone should checkout.

Plant Nutrition: What is Nutrition?
-refers to steps by which a living organism assimilates food anduses it for gr
owth and replacement of tissue
Plant nutrition is a term that takes into account theinterrelationships of min
eral elements in the soiil as well as their role in plant growth.
This topic would be of interest to students because they couldlearn to differe
ntiate between essential and beneficial nutrients. Essentialnutrients is an e
lement that is essential for survival. Beneficial-aids in lesserfunctions.

This articlediscusses in laymen's terms the essentials and
advatageous elements and minerals for plant nutrition and
fertility. Also included are the differences between plant
nutrition and fertility and the differences between essential
and beneficial elements and examples of each.
This would enhance a student's knowledge of the subject outside
of class and is useful to know in the importance of creatingfertiliers
and optimal environments for plant growth.

This arcticle was about Nitrogen and Phosphorous in the soil andhow it
effected plant tissuses. I thought that it was pretty interestingalthough it
was very complicated reading. The arcticle stated that in the longterm,
nitrogen limitation may slow the diomass production response toelevated CO2.
It also talked about many other things. It was a very informativearcticle.
