Nutrients that are leached below therooting zone of the vegetation are at least temporarily lost from the system,although they may be recycled if roots grow deeper.
temporary nutrient loss, and leaching beyond the rooting zone of deep-rooting plants, into the groundwater, leading to permanent nutrient loss. Susceptibility of different nutrients to leaching The leaching risk for a nutrient increases with its mobility in the soil. Among nutrient anions, nitrate is particularly easily leached because it
