Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient required for many fundamental
processes in plants, including photosynthesis and respiration, as well as nucleic acid …

We introduce the AusTraits database-a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the
Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 …

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 …

Box 9E. 1 Continued FIGURE 2. The C–S–R triangle model (Grime 1979). The strategies at
the three corners are C, competiti-winning species; S, stress-tolerating s-cies; R …

We are facing unprecedented phosphorus (P) challenges, namely P scarcity associated with
increasing food demand, and an oversupply of P fertilisers, resulting in eutrophication …

Plants that deploy a phosphorus (P)-mobilising strategy based on the release of
carboxylates tend to have high leaf manganese concentrations ([Mn]). This occurs because …

Ancient landscapes, which have not been glaciated in recent times or disturbed by other
major catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions, are dominated by nutrient …

OCBIL theory aims to develop an integrated series of hypotheses explaining the evolution
and ecology of, and best conservation practices for, biota on very old, climatically buffered …

Background Limitation of plant productivity by phosphorus (P) supply is widespread and will
probably increase in the future. Relatively large amounts of P fertilizer are applied to sustain …
