Proposed merger of Mineralization (soil science) into this article[edit]

Mineralization (soil science) appears to be a subset of Mineralization (biology). I believe it would help the understanding of all mechanisms involved if similarities and differences could be explained in a single article. Also both articles do not contain much text yet and might profit from each others content. --KaiKemmann (talk) 11:38, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The mineralization (biology) page describes a process where the product is insoluble "mineral" form, decreasing its bioavailability; in mineralization (soil science) the process results in the production of a soluble inorganic product with increased bioavailability.

Merge into Biomineralization[edit]

The two articles are essentially about the same phenomena, but one is substantially more complete than the other. Note Mineralized tissues is also relevant here. François Robere (talk) 20:36, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
