Juurivyöhyke
Juurivyöhyke, also known as the root zone, refers to the part of the soil or substrate that is occupied by plant roots. This is the area where essential biological and chemical processes occur that are critical for plant growth and development. Within the juurivyöhyke, plants absorb water and nutrients, and interact with microorganisms. The physical characteristics of this zone, such as soil structure, aeration, and moisture content, significantly influence root health and overall plant vigor.
The composition of the juurivyöhyke is dynamic, influenced by the plant species, soil type, and environmental
Understanding and managing the juurivyöhyke is fundamental in agriculture, horticulture, and environmental science. Practices such as
