Sentence examples for resources nutrients from inspiring English sources

The efficient acquisition of soil resources (nutrients and water) through the root system is crucial for crop productivity.

The relative abundance of a species takes its greatest possible value if the environmental resource ratios coincide with the ratios of the species' demands for the same resources (nutrients) (Levich (2000); Gaines et al. (2006)).

The greater RSR of tall-statured compared with small-statured species suggests that growth of tall species in their natural habitats is more likely limited by belowground resources (nutrients) and evolutionary processes selecting for greater investment into roots.
