The soil is defined differently by soil scientists, and its definition has changed over time. This
paper reviews how the definition of the soil has changed since the early 1800s by selecting …

Growing population and increased demand for food, inefficient resource use and food
distribution, environmental impacts, and high rates of food wasted at all stages of the food …

Legacy phosphorus (P) that has accumulated in soils from past inputs of fertilizers and
manures is a large secondary global source of P that could substitute manufactured …

Society relies heavily on inorganic phosphorus (P) compounds throughout its food chain.
This dependency is not only very inefficient and increasingly costly but is depleting finite …

The inefficient use of phosphorus (P) in the food chain is a threat to the global aquatic
environment and the health and well-being of citizens, and it is depleting an essential finite …

The sustainability of global phosphorus (P) use is emerging as a major societal goal to
secure future food, energy, and water security for a growing population. Phosphate rock …

During this 6th Great Extinction, freshwater quality is imperiled by upland terrestrial
practices. Phosphorus, a macronutrient critical for life, can be a concerning contaminant …

Wise phosphorus (P) management is paramount to ensure food and environmental security
and prolong the life of P resources. Long-term experiments under winter wheat–summer …

Management of phosphorus (P) loss in soils with heavy manure application requires
improved understanding of the transformation characteristics of soil P. Influences of manure …

Maintaining an appropriate soil phosphorus level is key to ensure sustainable phosphorus
management for crop production and to minimise phosphorus losses to water bodies …
