Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors are synthesized in the liver. Consequently, severe liver disease results in lower blood levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and an increased risk for uncontrolled bleeding (hemorrhage) (8) .
To grow well, pineapples have certain soil requirements. Pineapples need well-drained soil because they cannot withstand a waterlogged growing medium. For this reason, the best soil for growing pineapples is a sandy loam, because sand allows for rapid leaching, or water movement, through the soil. While pineapples dislike waterlogged soil, they are drought-tolerant, but require even moisture for proper fruit development.
The soil is rich because the volcanic tephra released in eruptions is easily weathered by rain. This process breaks down nutrients in the ash and rock delivering it slowly to the plants. The verdant splendor and fertility of many farmlands of the North Island of New Zealand are on volcanic soils of different ages.herefore, towns grow around volcanoes, and use the fertile soil to grow crops and food. The slopes of volcanoes and the surrounding regions are covered with rich, volcanic soil. For example, most of Italy has poor soils with bare limestone rock.
