Waterlogging can affect both the availability of micronutrients in the soil and the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the soil.

Having outlined the complexity of this topic, I now intend to summarise the soil and plant mineral relations during waterlogging, followed by a brief review of the scientific principles to improve understanding of the
