Iron is an essential element for plants and microbes. However, in most cultivated soils, the
concentration of iron available for these living organisms is very low because its solubility is …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most organisms due to its role in fundamental metabolic
processes. In cultivated soils, soil solution iron is mostly oxidized [Fe (III) species] unless …

Animals including humans are highly dependent on plants to provide many different
nutrients including iron in a useable form. Additionally, plants are used to support the growth …

Iron and phosphorus availability is low in many soils; hence, microorganisms and plants
have evolved mechanisms to acquire these nutrients by altering the chemical conditions that …

Poor iron (F e) availability in soil represents one of the most important limiting factors of
agricultural production and is closely linked to physical, chemical and biological processes …

In nature, iron (Fe) occurs in abundance and ranks fourth among all elements on Earth's
surface. Still, its availability to plants is reduced, once this element is in the form of hydrated …

Plant-associated microorganisms can stimulate plants growth and influence both crops yield
and quality by nutrient mobilization and transport. Therefore, rhizosphere microbiome …

Purpose The rationale of this paper is to review the state of the art regarding the biotic and
abiotic reactions that can influence Fe availability in soils. In soil, the management-induced …

Increasing the iron content of plant products and iron assimilability represents a major issue
for human nutrition and health. This is also a major challenge because iron is not readily …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants and associated microorganisms. Iron nutrition of
these organisms relies on the soil supply. However, bioavailability of iron in cultivated soils …
