Background Increasing crop production to feed a growing population has driven the use of
mineral fertilizers to ensure nutrients availability and fertility of agricultural soils. After …

Background Phosphorus (P) fertilizer is usually applied in excess of plant requirement and
accumulates in soils due to its strong adsorption, rapid precipitation and immobilisation into …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all organisms, thus playing unique and critical
roles at the food–energy–water nexus. Most P utilized by human activities eventually …

Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectroscopy has advanced our
knowledge of organic phosphorus (P) in soils and environmental samples more than any …

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 …

In areas of intensive agriculture continuous applications of mineral and organic fertilizers
can lead to an accumulation of phosphorus (P) in the soils and progressive saturation of …

Using agricultural wastes as an alternative phosphorus (P) source has great prospects to
improve soil P status. A 70-day incubation experiment was carried out to investigate the …

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

There is critical need for a practical indicator to assess the potential for phosphorus (P)
movement from a given site to surface waters, either via surface runoff or subsurface …

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