Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

Silicon (Si) speciation and availability in soils is highly important for ecosystem functioning,
because Si is a beneficial element for plant growth. Si chemistry is highly complex compared …

There is increased interest in the terrestrial silicon cycle in the last decades as its different
compounds and species have large implications for ecosystem performance in terms of soil …

In present era, heavy metal pollution is rapidly increasing which present many
environmental problems. These heavy metals are mainly accumulated in soil and are …

Silicon (Si) is the most copious element of existence in the lithosphere but still it has not
been added into the essential element list. The imperative role of Si in triggering growth and …

Drought and salinity are the main abiotic stresses limiting crop yield and quality worldwide.
Improving food production in drought-and salt-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing …

Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, silicon (Si) has been found in significant
concentrations in plants. Despite the abundant literature which demonstrates its benefits in …

Although silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, it is not
considered an essential element for plant nutrition. However, both research results and …

Our current understanding of silicon (Si) availability in agricultural soils is reviewed and
knowledge gaps are highlighted. Silicon is a beneficial rather than essential plant nutrient …

Silicon (Si) is the second‐most abundant element in the earth's crust. In the pedosphere,
however, huge spans of Si contents occur mainly caused by Si redistribution in soil profiles …
