Soil phosphorus (P) cycling in agroecosystems is highly complex, with many chemical,
physical, and biological processes affecting the availability of P to plants. Traditionally, P …

This study investigated the effects of maize (Zea mays L.) straw biochar on phosphorus (P)
availability in two soils with different P sorption capacities (iron and aluminum dominated …

Catch crops (CCs) are crops that grow between two cash crops, accumulating nutrients in
their biomass and later releasing them through the decomposition of their residues. To our …

Within a long-term tillage trial first laid out in Bernburg, Saxony Anhalt, Germany in 1992, the
effect of tillage practice on crop yield, depth distribution and plant availability of P and K, as …

Recent studies suggest that mineral soils of temperate ecosystems have a limit in C
sequestration capacity, and we reasoned that C saturation will be most evident in soils that …

Soil, crop and fertilizer management practices may affect the amount and quality of organic
C and N in soil. A long-term field experiment (growing barley, wheat, or canola) was …

Crop residue and fertilizer management practices alter some soil properties, but the
magnitude of change depends on soil type and climatic conditions. Field experiments with …

Soil phosphorus (P) composition and phosphatase activities in aggregates are essential for
agricultural productivity and remain poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted …

The use of organic residues might be appropriate in maintaining long‐term P requirement of
crops. Eight plant residues and two manures in a wide range of C: N ratios were incubated …

Residue decomposition and P release was studied under no tillage field conditions. Cover
crop residues releases significant quantities of P for the subsequent cash crop. Phosphorus …
