A well aerated soil is characterized by a relative abundance of _____. A)micropores B)Fe²⁺ions C)NH₄⁺ ions D)NO₃^- ions E)methane gas

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Well-aerated soils have a relative abundance of nitrate ions (NO3-), which are formed under aerobic conditions as microorganisms break down organic matter and convert ammonium ions (NH4+) to nitrate ions. This process requires oxygen, hence the association with well-aerated soils.
