Soil Specialization

Soil Specialization is a biological adaptation process in which plant lineages evolve distinct physiological, morphological, or ecological traits enabling them to exploit specific soil types or edaphic conditions, thereby reducing competition and facilitating divergent niche occupation within the context of adaptive radiation.
