fix ions. As will be shown in Sect. 6.2, weathered biotite particles in the sand fraction
fix radiocesium. Other possible functions supporting plant growth are the release and
tentative retention of nutrient elements, water, etc., although the capacity of these
functions of the coarse fraction is not as high as that of clays and humus.
