Oxygen Levels in Soil

📊 Key Takeaways:
Root Health: Low oxygen disrupts root respiration, slowing down water and nutrient uptake, and stunting plant growth.
Adaptations: Plants like rice develop aerenchyma-air-filled spaces in roots-to survive in oxygen-poor soil, allowing them to continue nutrient uptake in challenging conditions.
Microbial Community: Oxygen levels affect beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere, supporting nutrient cycling and plant protection. In low-oxygen soils, harmful anaerobic microbes can dominate, limiting nutrient availability.
