Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants acquire their minerals from the nutrients released by the decomposers that break down detritus and the minerals that are released when rocks weather. While fertilizers can provide nutrients, they are not the primary source of minerals for most plants. Precipitation can also contribute to mineral availability, but it is not the main source for most plants. Dust storms can transport minerals into a region, but this is not a primary mechanism for long-term nutrient acquisition by plants.
