Phosphorus Cycling as a Function of Soil Microbiome
Youzhi Feng, Ruirui Chen
Abstract
Phosphorus (P), especially its availability, plays a pivotal role in the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. The recent article makes several key discoveries with substantial implications for understanding the global soil P cycling as a function of microbiome and ecological effects of human activities.
