Administration 1: (1) The general process by which elements present in organic compounds are eventually converted into inorganic forms, ultimately to become available for a new cycle of plant growth. (2) The process whereby concentrations of minerals, such as salts, increase in water, often as a natural process resulting from water dissolving minerals found in rocks and soils through which it flows.

Extended Definition: MINERALIZATION

Mineralization

  • In biology, mineralization is the process where a substance is converted from an organic substance to an inorganic substance, thereby becoming mineralized.
  • In geology, mineralization is used to describe the hydrothermal deposition of economically important metals in the formation of ore bodies or "lodes".
  • In soil science, mineralization is used to describe the release of organic compounds during decomposition.
