Since poop is the solid waste that the majority of organisms produce, how is it so packed with nutrients that plants like?
In: Biology
manure contains essential nutrients for plants, like nitrates and phosphates, and it contains lots and lots of the kind of bacteria that breakdown organic waste to release those nutrients.
because plants require those nutrients to grow, they gradually deplete them from the soil the plant is growing in. without a replacement source of nutrients the plants growth will slow down or stop. adding manure to the soil allows the plants to continue growing.
