โœฆ Synopsis

The discovery that inorganic sources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium could replace 'manure' revolutionized agriculture at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1976, Dan Arnon stated (Jukes 1977):

One of the great achievements of modern science is the body of knowledge about the inorganic elements that are essential for plant growth and crop production. Plants require inorganic elements derived from three sources: air, water and soil. These elements are:

Air:

Carbon (supplied as carbon dioxide) and oxygen

Water."

Hydrogen and oxygen

Fifteen common native British plants were each sampled at a range of sites in Great Britain and green tissues analysed for several inorganic nutrients. Sampling criteria are discussed. The inter-site variation of each element within a species is assessed as a frequency distribution of raw data. Samp
