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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Fe availability
affects crops' productivity and the quality of their derived products and thus human nutrition …

Background Plants require iron for a large number of metabolic processes. Due to its low
availability in high pH soils, and the impaired acquisition by roots, iron chlorosis is one of the …

Abstract Background Iron (Fe) deficiency in crops is a worldwide agricultural problem. Plants
have evolved several strategies to enhance Fe acquisition, but increasing evidence has …

Abstract Background and Aims Soil microbes have been demonstrated to play an important
role in favouring plant iron (Fe) uptake under Fe-limiting conditions. However, the …

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 (Fe) is an essential plant micronutrient since many cellular processes including
photosynthesis, respiration, and the scavenging of reactive oxygen species depend on …
