Abstract

The word acquisition emphasizes that more is involved in getting inorganic nutrients into plants than ion transport across cell membranes. 0066-4294/85/0601 -0077$02.00 CLARKSON The present review is concerned with two interfaces; much of the subject matter relates to events occurring at OI very near the root/soil interface, and the review itself attempts to provide an interface between plant physiology and soil science. Even at the risk of having rocks thrown from both sides, I suggest that many of the intriguing processes that occur in the root/soil interface merit a more purposeful and integrated investigation, especially by plant physiolo­ gists, than they have received. From a vast amount of published work I have been very selective in choosing matters that raise interesting physiological questions. I have not dealt with dinitrogen fixation by nodule-forming organ­ isms or by free-living N-fixing microorganisms since these vigorous fields are frequently reviewed; neither have I attempted to detail the various influences of environment on nutrient acquisition.
