Micronutrient transformations in the soil 1. The transformations that micronutrients undergo in the soil vary depending on the nutrient, but overall the reactions are similar to what has already been discussed for macronutrients a)Mineralization and immobilization b) Adsorption and desorption to clay or organic matter surfaces c)Precipitation and dissolution of secondary mineralsMicronutrient transformations in the soil 1.
