The soil volume affected by roots–the rhizosphere–is one of the most important microbial
hotspots determining the processes, dynamics and cycling of carbon (C), nutrients and water …

Increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is driving N-limited ecosystems towards
phosphorus (P) limitation. Plants have evolved strategies to respond to P limitation which …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Background Agricultural production is often limited by low phosphorus (P) availability. In
develo** countries, which have limited access to P fertiliser, there is a need to develop …

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 …

Chemical exchange often serves as the first step in plant–microbe interactions and
exchanges of various signals, nutrients, and metabolites continue throughout the interaction …

Organic matter decomposition is a biochemical process with consequences affecting climate
change and ecosystem productivity. Once decomposition begins, C is lost as CO 2 or …

Mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) is considered a stable reservoir for soil nutrients
that influences long-term soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. However, recent …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

Zinc deficiency not only affects crop yields, but also nutritional quality and human health.
Microbial transformation of unavailable forms of soil zinc to plant available zinc is an …
