Plants can achieve their proper growth and development with the help of microorganisms
associated with them. Plant-associated microbes convert the unavailable nutrients to …

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 …

Microorganisms play an important role in soil phosphorus (P) cycling and regulation of P
availability in agroecosystems. However, the responses of the functional and ecological …

Cropping systems have fertilized soils for decades with undetermined consequences for the
productivity and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. One of the critical unknowns is the role …

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 …

Microorganisms are major drivers of elemental cycling in the biosphere. Determining the
abundance of microbial functional traits involved in the transformation of nutrients, including …

Crop straw is commonly returned back to agricultural fields to improve soil nutrient status. In
order to compare the effects of straw returning modes (direct and carbonization returning) on …

Phosphorus (P) fertilizer input influences crop yield, soil P cycling, and phosphate-
solubilizing microorganism (PSM) communities, which play a key role in obtaining soil …

Critical to meeting cellular phosphorus (P) demand, soil bacteria deploy a number of
strategies to overcome limitation in inorganic P (Pi) in soils. As a significant contributor to P …

To fulfil the demand of a growing population for rice food, a better understanding of soil
biological systems is urgently required to improve the efficient use of chemical fertilisers …
