Thanking for helping me out! What nutrient leaves when sawdust decomposes - Nitrogen? Phosphorus? Potassium? OR???
Hey!...Which one of the above is the most limiting on plant growth (in general) in a rainy climate? Which one forms the most soluble salts in the soil? Which one is the only one to originate in the atmosphere & be converted to more complex molecules by bacteria? Every question breeds a family of questionlets... gb
Hey gb! Can you answer the question as it is? This question was on my son's recent science exam and I couldn't give him a definitive answer. LS
No. I suggest you do a Google search with a tag along the lines of "composting wood waste". There are lots of good sites out there that can give you better information than me. gb
Google nitrogen cycle and you should find your answer and then try carbon cycle for further information.
