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 …

The aim of this paper is to introduce a virtual special issue that reviews the development of
analytical approaches to the determination of phosphorus species in natural waters. The …

Phosphorus is widely considered to constrain primary productivity in tropical rain forests, yet
the chemistry of soil organic phosphorus in such ecosystems remains poorly understood …

Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) spectroscopy is an important tool for
the study of soil P and has significantly advanced our knowledge of soil P forms, particularly …

The chemical interaction between soil organic matter and the orthophosphate anion
(phosphate [P]) is important for reactions of P at the soil solid phase, in soil solution, and in …

Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems
that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and …

Abstract Background and Aims Phosphorus (P) mineralisation from crop residues is usually
predicted from total P or carbon: phosphorus (C: P) ratios. However, these measures have …

Phosphate (P) fixation to the soil solid phase is considered to be important for P availability
and is often attributed to the strong binding of orthophosphate anion species. However, the …

Environmental context Organic phosphorus can be one of the major fractions of phosphorus
in many aquatic ecosystems. This paper discusses the distribution, cycling and ecological …

In the past decades, environmental scientists have become increasingly involved in
developing novel approaches for applying emerging spectroscopic techniques to complex …
