Soil is a vital component of the Earth's ecosystem as it directly affects agricultural productivity, ecosystem sustainability, nutrient cycling and water resources. Soil is a dynamic and complex ecosystem influenced by a variety of factors, including soil parent material and geological characteristics. Soil parent material provides the initial mineral and organic matter composition of the soil, affecting its fertility and nutrient retention capacity. Geological features such as tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, sedimentary deposits and glacial processes contribute to the formation of different soil types and influence nutrient availability. Plants need various nutrients for their growth and development. These nutrients are named as macro- and micronutrients according to the amounts required by plants. The availability of these nutrients in the soil is very important for plant uptake and health. Nutrients are closely related to the soil parent material and weathering processes. Biological processes such as the activities of microorganisms and plant roots also contribute to weathering and soil development. Depending on the soil parent material and soil formation events, soil properties vary. These variations affect the amount of nutrients and their uptake mechanisms. For example, phosphorus availability in soil is affected by various soil properties such as pH, texture, organic matter content, lime level and microbial activities. In short, soil parent material directly affects plant communities and their nutrient composition.
