Community-level composting in a rural area in Germany.

Compost is a mixture of ingredients used as plant fertilizer and to improve soil's physical, chemical and biological properties.

It is commonly prepared by decomposing plant, food waste, recycling organic materials and manure.

The resulting mixture is rich in plant nutrients and beneficial organisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, nematodes and fungi.

Compost improves soil fertility in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, urban agriculture, and organic farming, reducing dependency on commercial chemical fertilizers.

The benefits of compost include providing nutrients to crops as fertilizer, acting as a soil conditioner, increasing the humus or humic acid contents of the soil, and introducing beneficial microbes that help to suppress pathogens in the soil and reduce soil-borne diseases.

The bark of Pinus thunbergii is made up of countless shiny layers.

Bark is the outermost layers of stems and roots of woody plants.

Plants with bark include trees, woody vines, and shrubs.

Bark refers to all the tissues outside the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term.

It overlays the wood and consists of the inner bark and the outer bark.

The inner bark, which in older stems is living tissue, includes the innermost layer of the periderm.

The outer bark on older stems includes the dead tissue on the surface of the stems, along with parts of the outermost periderm and all the tissues on the outer side of the periderm.

The outer bark on trees which lies external to the living periderm is also called the rhytidome.

A plantation is an agricultural estate, generally centered on a plantation house, meant for farming that specializes in cash crops, usually mainly planted with a single crop, with perhaps ancillary areas for vegetables for eating and so on.

The crops that are grown include cotton, cannabis, coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar cane, opium, sisal, oil seeds, oil palms, fruits, rubber trees and forest trees.

Protectionist policies and natural comparative advantage have sometimes contributed to determining where plantations are located.
