Phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate salts) can constitute a large fraction of the organic P
in soils. As a more recalcitrant form of soil organic P, up to 51 million metric tons of phytate …

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 …

Enhancing soil phosphate solubilization is a promising strategy for agricultural sustainability,
while little is known about the mechanisms of how microorganisms cope with differing …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential and limiting nutrient in soil and is tightly linked to soil fertility
and productivity. Microorganisms have developed different mechanisms to respond to P …

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 …

The effects of long-term excessive phosphorus (P) fertilization on the P fraction changes and
P loss risk in orchard soils remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the concentrations of …

Background The dynamics of phosphorus (P) in the environment is important for regulating
nutrient cycles in natural and managed ecosystems and an integral part in assessing …

Clay minerals constitute an important component of the soil system and knowledge of their
role in soil fertility is imperative for sustainable soil management and productivity. The aim of …

Soil phosphorus drives food production that is needed to feed a growing global population.
However, knowledge of plant available phosphorus stocks at a global scale is poor but …

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 …
