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 …

The advent of civilization has made humans dependent on plants for food and medicine,
leading to the intensification of agricultural production. The intense cultivation of crops has …

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 …

Background Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in many agroecosystems and costly
fertilizer inputs can cause negative environmental impacts. Cover crops constitute a …

There is increasing evidence that the origins of organic acids (OAs) are as important as their
roles and pathways of production. This review focuses on information about challenges …

Soil organic matter (SOM) has a critical role in regulating soil phosphorus (P) dynamics and
producing phytoavailable P. However, soil P dynamics are often explained mainly by the …

Background Phosphorus (P) fertilizer is usually applied in excess of plant requirement and
accumulates in soils due to its strong adsorption, rapid precipitation and immobilisation into …

Agronomic practices such as crop residue return and additional nutrient supply are
recommended to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in arable farmlands. However …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is known to play vital roles in the maintenance and improvement
of many soil properties and processes. These roles, which largely influence soil functions …

Continuous crop expansion has led to a growing demand for phosphate fertilizers. A sound
knowledge of the dynamics of phosphorus, and its interaction with iron oxides and organic …
