[edit] Stuff to do before FA

Left from GAC review:

• "There are 16 elements crucial for growth; of those, three are obtained through air and water: hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, boron, copper, chlorine, manganese, molybdenum, iron, and zinc are obtained from the soil."

Perhaps separate into macro and micro nutrients. Deficiencies are soil dependent and thus location dependent. I might be wrong here but the soil must be slightly acidic

• Agricultural economics section: This would cross with the "economic theory" section in Christmas tree production. Merge that section here? Thoughts?

Other ideas:

• "Research": expansion, globalization of section, add "Silviculture" section?
• "History": Globalize

That's it for now. IvoShandor 14:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
