Rice is the foremost staple food in the world, safeguarding the global food and nutritional
security. Rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water deficits are threatening global …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for life. In many tropical countries, P-fixing soils and
very low historical P input limit uptake of P in crops and thus yields. This presents a serious …

Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can promote the level of plant-absorbable
phosphorus (P) in agro-ecosystems. However, little attention has been paid to PSB …

This chapter provides an overview of the relative contributions of organic and inorganic
sources to soil phosphorus (P) accumulation, its dynamics, and the use of amendments in …

Although rice cultivation holds potential for restoring unproductive saline-alkali soils and
increasing food production, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between microbial …

Animal manures are reported as good substitutes for chemical fertilizers to mobilize soil
phosphorus (P). However, the mechanisms on how different types of manures regulate …

Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) intercalated with phosphate ions (LDH-phosphate) was
synthesized by ion-exchange method from a precursor containing nitrate ions between the …

Fertilization could promote phosphorus (P) cycling in soil; however, it is unclear how long-
term fertilization regimes affect P-cycling-related microbial communities in different soil …

Conservation tillage has been widely used in the North China Plain to improve the
aggregate structure and promote soil organic matter (SOM) retention, which is closely …

Methane (CH 4) is predominantly produced in lowland rice soil, but its emission from soil to
atmosphere primarily depends on passage/conduit or capillary pore spaces present in rice …
