Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting macronutrients for crop productivity and P
deficiency is a common phenomenon in agricultural soils worldwide. Despite long-term …

The soil volume affected by roots–the rhizosphere–is one of the most important microbial
hotspots determining the processes, dynamics and cycling of carbon (C), nutrients and water …

Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

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 …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the
rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere …

The aim of the present review is to define the various origins of root-mediated changes of pH
in the rhizosphere, ie, the volume of soil around roots that is influenced by root activities …

Production and consumption processes in soils contribute to the global cycles of many trace
gases (CH4, CO, OCS, H2, N2O, and NO) that are relevant for atmospheric chemistry and …

Internal transport of gases is crucial for vascular plants inhabiting aquatic, wetland or flood‐
prone environments. Diffusivity of gases in water is approximately 10 000 times slower than …

Rice agriculture feeds about a third of the world's population. However, rice fields are also
an important source in the global budget of the greenhouse gas methane. The emission of …
