The researchers studied how adding sugar to soil affects the availability of zinc. They found that in soils with high pH and certain characteristics, adding sugar decreased zinc availability. However, in sandy soils with low pH, adding sugar increased zinc availability. This shows that the type of soil and its properties can impact how zinc interacts with organic matter like sugar.
