Effects of flooding on phosphorus and iron mobilization in highly weathered soils under different land-use types: Short-term effects and mechanisms
The strong affinity of phosphorus (P) to iron (Fe) oxides and hydroxides in highly weathered
tropical soils limits P availability and therefore plant productivity in tropics. In flooded soils …
