The problem comes in with the soil temps……mineralization shuts down……You’re eventually going to be running off of a nutrient reserve that’s held in the SOM but the processes that are occurring that makes those things go round and round kinda goes dormant as soil temps cool off and then speeds back up in the spring. I’m sure you’ve noticed how things hit a point in spring where the cereals suddenly green up and jump…..That’s the threshold where soil temps have reached a point that mineralization/decomposition starts cranking back up.
