There is increasing evidence that the origins of organic acids (OAs) are as important as their
roles and pathways of production. This review focuses on information about challenges …

Background To improve plant phosphorus (P)-acquisition efficiency to secure sustainable
food production, an important step is to increase the concentration of plant-available P in the …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is primarily formed from plant inputs, but the relative carbon (C)
contributions from living root inputs (ie rhizodeposits) vs litter inputs (ie root+ shoot litter) are …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …

The incorporation of organic matter (OM) in soils that are able to rapidly sorb applied
phosphorus (P) fertiliser reportedly increases P availability to plants. This effect has …

Iron and phosphorus availability is low in many soils; hence, microorganisms and plants
have evolved mechanisms to acquire these nutrients by altering the chemical conditions that …

In the tropical rainforest of Amazonia, phosphorus (P) is one of the main nutrients controlling
forest dynamics, but its effects on the future of the forest biomass carbon (C) storage under …

Processes of soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization and the reverse, destabilization of SOM
resulting in subsequent release and mobilization of nutrients from SOM, remain largely …

Organic acids have been hypothesized to perform many functions in soil including root
nutrient acquisition, mineral weathering, microbial chemotaxis and metal detoxification …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), typically quantified as dissolved organic carbon (DOC),
has been hypothesized to play many roles in pedogenesis and soil biogeochemical cycles …
