Phosphorus status and cycling in native savanna and improved pastures on an acid low-P Colombian Oxisol
On acid low-phosphorus (P) Colombian Oxisols, improved pastures with acid-soil-tolerant grass and legume varieties have increased beef production by a factor of 10 to 15 with only modest P fertilizer inputs. T...

Root-induced modifications of the exchange of phosphate ion between soil solution and soil solid phase
The uptake of phosphorus (P) by roots results in a depletion of phosphate ions (PO4) in the rhizosphere. The corresponding decrease in PO4 concentration in the soil solution (CP) gives rise to a replenishment of ...

Is the isotopically exchangeable phosphate of a loamy soil the plant-available P?
This study compared the validity of using the isotopically exchangeable phosphorus (P) as an accurate measurement of plant available P by comparing the specific activity of P, i.e. the 32P/31P ratio, in soil solu...
