Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and
development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation …

Extracellular enzymes are the proximate agents of organic matter decomposition and
measures of these activities can be used as indicators of microbial nutrient demand. We …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

The inositol phosphates are a group of organic phosphorus compounds found widely in the
natural environment, but that represent the greatest gap in our understanding of the global …

This chapter presents an overview of the chemical nature of soil organic phosphorus (P) and
its role in determining the dynamics, availability, and mobility of soil P in agroecosystems. It …

Non-mycorrhizal microbial inoculants (biofertilizers) can potentially stimulate soil P cycling
by solubilizing organic-and mineral-bound P. These P-solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) …

Soil P composition can be conveniently determined in alkaline extracts using solution 31P
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but spectral assignments are based on …

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 …

Organic phosphorus is an important component of soil biogeochemical cycles, but must be
extracted from soil prior to analysis. Here we critically review the extraction of soil organic …

Lupines (Lupinus species; Fabaceae) are an ancient crop with great potential to be
developed further for high‐protein feed and food, cover crops, and phytoremediation. Being …
