What are the mechanisms behind nitrogen loss in sandy vs. clay soils?

23 May 2025 1 7K Report

Simranpreet Kaur

Nitrogen loss mechanisms differ significantly between sandy and clay soils due to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Sandy soils are more prone to nitrogen loss through leaching, while clay soils may lose nitrogen through denitrification.

Thanks!
