4.1 Life on Land Imposes Unique Constraints 陸地上的生命承受獨特的限制
陸地環境對生命的限制 • 乾燥效應。（desiccation） • 重力作用。(gravity) • 環境因子的變動大小（例如：溫度）。
4.2 Plant Cover Influences the Vertical Distribution of Light 植物的覆蓋影響光線的垂直分佈
Leaf area index (LAI)葉面積指數 • 定義: 葉的表面積除以植物在地表的投影面積 (m2 leaf area/ m2 ground area) . • A leaf area index of 3 would mean that there are 3 m2 of leaf area over 1 m2 of ground area.
Levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), within and above a yellow-poplar stand over a year.
4.3 Soil Is the Foundation Upon Which All Terrestrial Life Depends 土壤是所有陸地生命依賴的基礎
Soil definition（土壤的定義） • Soil is a natural product formed and synthesized by the weathering of rocks and the action of living organisms. • （土壤是岩石的風化作用與生物活動形成的天然產物）
Soil definition （土壤的定義） • Soil is a collection of natural bodies of earth, composed of mineral and organic matter and capable of supporting plant growth. • 土壤是地表聚積的自然體，由無機物及有機物組成，能支持植物的生長。
4.4 The Formation of Soil Begins with Weathering 土壤的形成開始於風化作用
Weathering （風化作用） • Mechanical weathering（物理風化作用）: breaks down rock and minerals into smaller particles.（透過物理作用將岩石或礦物變成小顆粒） • Chemical weathering（化學風化作用）:
4.5 Soil Formation Involves Five Interrelated Factors 土壤的形成包含五個相關的因子
土壤形成的五個因子 • Parental material （母岩） • Climate （氣候） • Biotic factors （生物因子） • Topography （地形） • Time （時間）
4.6 Soils Have Certain Distinguishing Physical Characteristics 土壤具有某些可區分的物理性質
Soil texture（土壤特徵（組成）） • Soil texture is the proportion of different-sized soil particles. • Gravel（砂礫）: larger than 2.0 mm. • Sand（沙）: from 0.05 to 2.0 mm. • Silt（泥沙）: from 0.002 to 0.05 mm. • Clay（黏土）: less than 0.002 mm.
Soil texture（土壤特徵） • Gravel is not part of the fine fraction of soil. • A soil texture is the percentage (by weight) of sand, silt, and clay. • Clay controls the most important properties of soils, including its water holding capacity, and the exchange of ions between soil particles and soil solution.

4.7 The Soil Body Has Horizontal Layers, or Horizons 土壤有水平的層狀結構
4.8 Moisture-Holding Capacity Is an Essential Feature of Soils 水分保持能力是土壤的重要特徵
Moisture-holding capacity of soil • Saturated（飽和）: the amount of water exceeds what the pore space of soil can hold. • Field capacity（田間容量）: Water fills all the pore spaces of soil and is hold there by internal capillary forces.（水分以毛細作用充滿土壤中所有的孔隙） • Capillary water（毛細水）: Water held between soil particles by capillary forces.（水分以毛細作用為土壤所保留）
Moisture-holding capacity of soil • Wilting point (WP): The moisture level of soil decreases to a point at which plants can no longer extract water. • 枯萎點：土壤中的水分減少到植物無法從中獲得水分，此土壤之含水量稱為枯萎點。
Moisture-holding capacity of soil • Available water capacity (AWC): The amount of water retained by the soil between field capacity and wilting point. • 可利用的水容量：
Water content of three different soils at wilting point (WP), field capacity (FC), and saturation.
4.9 Ion Exchange Capacity Is Important to Soil Fertility 離子交換容量對土壤肥沃度很重要
Ion（離子） • Cation（陽離子）: with positive charge(s)（帶正電荷的離子） • Anion（陰離子）: with negative charge(s)（帶負電荷的離子）
Ion exchange（離子交換） • Ion exchange capacity（離子交換容量）: The total number of charged sites on soil particles within a volume of soil.（一定體積土壤內的帶電荷離子位置總數目） • Colloids（膠狀體）：土壤中帶負電荷的離子 • Cation exchange capacity（陽離子交換容量）
Ion exchange • The lyotropic series : • Al3+＞H+＞Ca2+＞Mg2+＞K+ = NH4+＞Na+ • Hydrogen ions (H+) effect: Al3+
Soil acidity • Typically, soils range from pH 3 (extremely acid) to pH 9 (strongly alkaline).（土壤的酸鹼值一般從pH 3-9） • Soils just over pH 7 (neutral) are considered basic, and those of pH 5.6 or below are acid.
