植物与土壤的关系概述（国外英文资料） Description of the relationship between plant and soil The ecological meaning of soil Soil is the loose surface of the surface of the lithosphere, the matrix of life of land plants. It provides the nutrients and water necessary for plant life and is an important place for the exchange of matter and energy in the ecosystem. Because there are a lot of contact area between plant roots and soil, the material exchange between the soil and plants frequently, strongly influenced each other, thus the soil is one of the most important ecological factors, by controlling the soil factors can affect the growth and yield of plants. The soil meets the ability of plants to demand water, fat, gas and heat, which is called soil fertility. The rich soil also satisfies the requirement of plants for water, fertilizer, gas and heat, which is the foundation of normal growth and development of plants. The physical properties of the soil and its effects on plants (1) soil texture and structure The soil is a three-phase system composed of solid, liquid and gas, where solid particles are the material foundation of the soil, accounting for more than 85 percent of the total weight of the soil. According to the size of the solid particles, can be divided into the following: the soil particles coarse sand (2.0 ~ 0.2 mm in diameter), fine sand (0.2 ~ 0.02 mm), powder sand (0.02 ~ 0.002 mm) and clay (below 0.002 mm). The combination of these different sizes of solid particles is called soil texture. The soil texture can be divided into sand, loam and clay. Sandy soil is given priority to with coarse sand and fine sand, silt and clay proportion of small, small cohesive soil, pore, air permeability is strong, function of water and fertilizer, easy to dry. Clay soil is given priority to with silt and clay, the quality of a material is heavy, dense structure, and retention of fat ability strong, but the pore is small, air permeable performance is poor, wet glue, working hard.
