Answer: Spreading limestone on crop fields to neutralize acidic soils.

Minerals are necessary for the growth of plants growing in an agricultural field. Plants obtain minerals from the soil. Minerals like potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen are required by the plants for their growth. Also, minerals are added to the soil of the agricultural field to maintain the pH of soil, which is desirable for specific crop growth. Limestone is a mineral useful for maintaining the pH of soil. It's primary component is calcium carbonate. It is basic in nature. It is added up to the soil to increase it's pH, with it's use soil acidity is reduced and alkalinity is increased. Therefore, it nutralize the acidic soil and makes it suitable for plant growth.

Why are gymnosperms no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses?
erastovalidia [21]

Gymnosperms are no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses because they have evolved to produce non-flagellated pollens that do not require water or moisture to reach the egg whereas ferns and mosses have flagellated sperm that needs moisture to swim towards the egg.

Another major evolutionary adaption in gymnosperms is the production of seeds instead of spores since seeds contain their own nutrition in the form of endosperm, seeds can travel large distances through wind or animals and can germinate when they find suitable conditions. Seeds can remain dormant for several years whereas spores have a shorter lifespan.
