Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important minerals required for plant growth occupying a
strong position among soil macro nutrients. Soil P deficiency is often fulfilled by phosphate …

Phosphate‐solubilising microorganisms (PSM) are often reported to have positive effects on
crop productivity through enhanced phosphorus (P) nutrition. Our aim was to evaluate the …

Crop productivity and yield are adversely affected by the deficiency of P in agricultural soil.
Phosphate fertilizers are used at a large scale to improve crop yields globally. With the rapid …

Our objective is to provide an optimistic strategy for reversing soil degradation by increasing
public and private research efforts to understand the role of soil biology, particularly …

Microorganisms are integral to the soil phosphorus (P) cycle and as such play an important
role in mediating the availability of P to plants. Understanding the microbial contribution to …

Microbial mineralization and immobilization of nutrients strongly influence soil fertility. We
studied microbial biomass stoichiometry, microbial community composition, and microbial …

Major modifications are needed in existing stormwater management practices to control
floods in urban landscapes, protect natural ecosystems, and minimize infrastructural …

Background Agricultural production is often limited by low phosphorus (P) availability. In
developing countries, which have limited access to P fertiliser, there is a need to develop …

It is generally accepted that biochar-C is largely unavailable to soil microbes but changes in
soil physicochemical properties and the introduction of metabolically available labile-C …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …
