The decayed remains of burned trees acts like what for the soil?
A
fertilizer for the soil
B
water for the soil
C
shade for the soil
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Intense burns may have detrimental effects on soil physical properties by consuming soil organic matter. Since soil organic matter holds sand, silt, and clay particles into aggregates, a loss of soil organic matter results in a loss of soil structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilizers improve the supply of nutrients in the soil, directly affecting plant growth. Soil amendments improve a soil’s physical condition (e.g. soil structure, water infiltration), indirectly affecting plant growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The simple answer is not easy, but yes, soil can burn if the temperature exceeds 280C, exothermic reactions (those reactions that produce heat). When soil surface temperature reaches 500 to 600C, glowing combustion occurs if oxygen is not excluded from the char surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fertigation. Fertigation is the application of fertilizers to the soil through an irrigation system, which applies both water and nutrients to plants. It provides an additional way to supply nitrogen, sulfur and potassium.
