In most soils, inorganic phosphorus occurs at fairly low concentrations in the soil solution
whilst a large proportion of it is more or less strongly held by diverse soil minerals. Phosphate …

Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the rhizosphere.
The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere probably …

A range of key biological functions of plant roots such as uptake, respiration and exudation
can considerably alter biogeochemical parameters of the soil in the vicinity of the roots, ie, the …

The availability of carbon from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and of nitrogen from
various human-induced inputs to ecosystems is continuously increasing; however, these …

The aim of the present review is to define the various origins of root-mediated changes of
pH in the rhizosphere, ie, the volume of soil around roots that is influenced by root activities. …

The rhizosphere differs from the bulk soil in a range of biochemical, chemical and physical
processes that occur as a consequence of root growth, water and nutrient uptake, respiration …

Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic matter and play a
pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many plant species have a distinct ecological …

Over the last 50 years, the use of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers has increased
at a faster rate than global food production, resulting in substantial decreases of N and P …

Provisioning services, such as the production of food, feed, and fiber, have always been the
main focus of agriculture. Since the 1950s, intensive cropping systems based on the …

Vineyard soils have been contaminated by Cu as a consequence of the long-term use of Cu
salts as fungicides against mildew. This work aimed at identifying which soil parameters …
