Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and
sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

Zinc (Zn) still represents an important health problem in develo** countries, caused
mainly by inadequate dietary intake. A large consumption of cereal‐based foods with small …

Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose
a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the …

The dynamics and transformations of micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, B and Mo) in soils, are
governed by various factors like pH, EC, soil organic matter etc. Soil organic matter (SOM) is …

The rhizosphere microbiome has a key role in plant growth and health, providing a first line
of defense against root infections by soil-borne pathogens. Here, we investigated the …

Micronutrient malnutrition is a global health issue and needs immediate attention. Over two
billion people across the globe suffer from micronutrient malnutrition. The widespread zinc …

An understanding of the structural complexity of mineralised tissues is fundamental for
exploration into the field of diagenesis. Here we review aspects of current and past research …

Organic acids (OAs) are central to cellular metabolism. Many plant stress responses involve
the exudation of OAs at the root–soil interface, which can improve soil mineral acquisition …

Excessive application of fertilizers negatively affects soil health, causes low nutrient
utilization efficiency in plants, and leads to environmental pollution. The application of …

Low nutrient availability and biological activity are the main challenges in calcareous soils
with low organic matter (OM) content. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the …
