Impact: Moderate stress on crops like corn, wheat, and lettuce; salt-tolerant plants like barley may still thrive.
Humid conditions, often found in tropical climates.
Impact: Can lead to excessive moisture, promoting diseases like mildew and root rot; may benefit certain moisture-loving plants.
Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.
Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.
Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.
Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.
Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.
Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.
Key component of some amino acids and vitamins, supports overall plant metabolism.
