“…As main chemical characteristics, the SS presents levels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, for example, which act in cellular composition, enzyme and protein synthesis, perform structural function, and are involved in virtually all processes of plant growth and reproduction (GONDIM et al, 2019;KLAFE et al, 2022). The available values of these nutrients in SS vary, as does the demand of each forest species, but both macro and micronutrients are vital for developing quality seedlings (BANDEIRA et al, 2018). It is important to note that in plant tissues, the absorption process occurs by the root directly arranged in the substrate, and that by active or passive transport, they will be distributed internally in tissues according to the plant's needs (TRAZZI et al, 2013).…”
