Abstract
The pages of text and figures which precede these notes are intended to show what is the reality (perceived as such today) of plant – mineral interaction. This effort is at the same time new and a re-working of old ideas and knowledge. We have not invented a new concept to say the least. The interactions of plants and soil minerals have been suspected since people could write it down. Perhaps the Neolithic agro-pioneers would have done so if they had had the tools of such expression.
