They also contain plant nutrients and only need applying once a year.

Lentils are good for plant nutrients called isoflavones, believed to play a role in heart health along with fibre for good digestion.

It may even mean a nutritional boost, as many plant nutrients are produced in greater quantities with higher light levels.

Organic matter improves the physical condition of soil, and residues from its decomposition play an important role in holding plant nutrients and water.

Synthetic vitamins provide nutrients in a partially isolated state, which means the body finds them harder to absorb.

Tidal currents can transport nutrients to underwater wildlife increasing the variety and density of that life at the site.

These can transport nutrients which plankton thrive on.

The epithelial cells of the villi transport nutrients from the lumen of the intestine into these capillaries (amino acids and carbohydrates) and lacteals (lipids).

These activities transport nutrients into the mineral layers of soil.
