How is it possible that in these places plants grow lush without anyone worrying about giving them fertilizer? We are used to seeing our plants require regular fertilization, but nature has its own way of working and the answer is found in the so-called organic substance cycle. The main difference between mineral and organic fertilizers is in their origin, composition and the functions they perform on the soil and in the plants.

What is meant by organic substance? The organic substance of the soil can be understood as the set of soil materials that are alive (roots, animals and microorganisms) or that have been alive (residues of dead plants and animals), together with all those products of biological (living) origin such as animal waste. The dead organic substance undergoes a decomposition process operated by a set of organisms. Let's take a dry leaf for example: it will be attacked by insects, fungi and bacteria that will decompose it, until nothing remains of the leaf except the residues decomposed during the process. If you have ever observed this process you will have noticed how the starting organic material transforms over time into a substance that looks like soil. Humification and mineralization The fate of dead organic matter is to go through transformation processes that break it down into increasingly smaller and less complex compounds. One of the intermediate stages of this process is humification, which transforms it into one of the most active components of the soil: humus. Further transformations will lead the organic matter to mineralize, that is, to transform itself into simple mineral elements, capable of being absorbed by plants. To simplify: if you place a dead leaf on the flowerbed in the garden it will not be able to constitute food for the plants; it will have to undergo a (more or less slow) mineralization process in order to be able to transform itself into nourishment.
