Plant roots exhibit diverse root functional traits to enable soil phosphorus (P) acquisition,
including changes in root morphology, root exudation and mycorrhizal symbioses. Yet …

Aims Plant P acquisition strategies are driven by multiple belowground morphological and
physiological traits as well as interactions among these traits. This study aimed to …

To overcome soil nutrient limitation, many plants have developed complex nutrient
acquisition strategies including altering root morphology, root hair formation or colonization …

Australia harbors some of the most nutrient-impoverished soils on Earth. Southwestern
Australian soils are especially phosphorus (P) impoverished, due to the age of this ancient …

Different phosphorus (P)‐acquisition strategies may be relevant for species coexistence and
plant performance in terrestrial communities on P‐deficient soils. However, how interspecific …

The adoption of diverse resource acquisition strategies is critical for plant growth and
species coexistence. Root phosphatase is of particular importance in the acquisition of soil …

Sustainable agriculture requires improved phosphorus (P) management to reduce the
overreliance on P fertilization. Despite intensive research of root adaptive mechanisms for …

Background Global phosphorus (P) reserves are being depleted, with half-depletion
predicted to occur between 2040 and 2060. Most of the P applied in fertilizers may be …

Nutrient distribution and neighbours can impact plant growth, but how neighbours shape
root‐foraging strategy for nutrients is unclear. Here, we explore new patterns of plant …

In this Update, we review new findings about the roles of the arbuscular mycorrhizas
(mycorrhiza= fungus plus root) in plant growth and phosphorus (P) nutrition. We focus …
