What you throw away in the kitchen could matter more in the garden. This everyday leftover plays a surprising role in soil ...

This postdoctoral position, jointly hosted by LSCE (France) and UM6P (Morocco) sharing his (her) time between the two countries, investigates emerging phosphorus limitations in shifting cultivation ...

ABSTRACT: Mangroves adapt to saline and nutrient-poor environments through nutrient conservation strategies. This study evaluates nutrient resorption efficiencies (NRE) of nitrogen, phosphorus, and ...

ABSTRACT: Phosphate nodules from the Upper-Carboniferous to Upper-Permian period were discovered in the Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh. They are hosted by the Salooni formation and are ...

Understanding where and in what quantities essential elements for life have existed on Earth's surface helps explain the origin and evolution of life. Phosphorus is one such element, forming the ...

Global terrestrial nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles are coupled to the global carbon (C) cycle for net primary production (NPP), plant C allocation, and decomposition of soil organic matter, but ...

Phosphorus is a nutrient most people rarely think about. Yet it touches almost every aspect of our lives—the food we eat and the water we drink. One of its most common uses is in the form of ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

University of California, Irvine researchers have reported evidence that marine nutrient cycles – essential for sustaining ocean ecosystems – are changing in unexpected ways as the planet continues to ...

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient element in plant photosynthesis. However, the adsorption of mineral P via leaching and erosion leads to a decrease in P availability and consequently P ...
