Wurzeldurchlüftung
Wurzeldurchlüftung is a German term that translates to root aeration or root ventilation. It refers to the process of ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the root systems of plants. Plant roots require oxygen for respiration, a vital process that allows them to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Without sufficient oxygen, root respiration is impaired, leading to a decline in plant health.
Factors that can reduce oxygen availability to roots include waterlogged soil, soil compaction, and excessive mulching.
Wurzeldurchlüftung can be improved through various horticultural practices. Proper soil management techniques, such as avoiding overwatering
