In most soils, inorganic phosphorus occurs at fairly low concentrations in the soil solution
whilst a large proportion of it is more or less strongly held by diverse soil minerals …

Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and
development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation …

Soil phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural systems will limit food and feed production in the
future. Here, we combine spatially distributed global soil erosion estimates (only considering …

Soil Microbiology, Ecology, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition addresses the increasingly
important field of soil biota and their interactions in research and education. Soil biota are an …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability limit plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems.
This review examines how variation in the relative availability of N and P, as reflected by N …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

The water quality response to implementation of conservation measures across watersheds
has been slower and smaller than expected. This has led many to question the efficacy of …

Despite phosphorus (P) being crucial for plant nutrition and thus food security, excessive P
fertilization harms soil and aquatic ecosystems. Accordingly, the European Green Deal and …

Our objective is to provide an optimistic strategy for reversing soil degradation by increasing
public and private research efforts to understand the role of soil biology, particularly …

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient
coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that …
