In this case I'm guessing that it's referring to trace elements rather
than the usual NPK(+Ca+S). It could be referring to soil in which a
mineral supplement (e.g. rock dust) has been added, or it could be
referring to a soil which naturally has higher levels of minerals.

One does hear about pastures being dressed with various elements to
address trace element deficiencies in cattle and sheeped.
