The availability of carbon (C) from high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and
anthropogenic release of nitrogen (N) is increasing, but these increases are not paralleled …

Studies on ecological stoichiometry (ES) have increased rapidly in number in recent years.
Continuous exploration of classical concepts such as the growth-rate hypothesis (GRH),) …

Food systems depend on reliable supplies of phosphorus to fertilize soils. Since 2020, a
pandemic, geopolitical disputes, trade wars and escalating fuel prices have driven a> 400 …

Acidic soils rapidly retain applied phosphorus fertilizers and consequently present low
availability of this nutrient to plants. The use of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms to …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for life. In many tropical countries, P-fixing soils and
very low historical P input limit uptake of P in crops and thus yields. This presents a serious …

Exploiting native soil phosphorus (P) and the large reservoirs of residual P accumulated
over decades of cultivation, namely “legacy P”, has great potential to overcome the high …

Liming combined with no-tillage (NT) can increase the efficiency of P use by accumulating
soil P in more available forms and improving root exploration due to the absence of toxic Al …

The spatio–temporal distribution, flow and end use of phosphorus (P) embedded in traded
agricultural products are poorly understood. Here we use global trade matrices to analyse …

Bacterial endophytes are considered to have a beneficial effect on host plants, improving
their growth by different mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the …

Biochar (BC) and phosphate rocks (PR) are alternative nutrient sources with multiple
benefits for sustainable agriculture. The combination of these soil amendments serves two …
