Currently, erosion levels are alarmingly high in many areas, and measures will need to be taken to halt the degradation of these resources. ... This means that we are looking for production systems with a continuous soil cover and undisturbed surface layer, with a high degree of cycling of plant nutrients. The zero tillage system is an example of such a system because the soil surface remains undisturbed throughout the year. 8, record 1, English, - zero%20tillage%20system

The soil-plant system is one of the most important components in agricultural and natural ecosystems. Nutrient dynamics in soil-plant systems not only reflect the pattern of nutrient flow but also influence food production and quality, and the contaminant pathways in agricultural and natural ecosystems. In soil-plant systems, interaction between nutrients occur when the supply of one nutrient affects the movement, absorption, or utilization of an nutrient within the soil, soil-root interface (rhizosphere), or plant. There are several mechanisms of nutrient interaction in soil-plany systems. 3, record 2, English, - rhizosphere
