Heterogeneous co-supplies of phosphorus, sulfur and carbon enhance phosphorus availability by improving rhizosphere processes in a calcareous soil
Phosphorus (P) availability in calcareous soils is limited. Acidifying the soil by adding sulfur (S) or enhancing microbial activity by adding carbon (C) can increase P bioavailability. However, understanding ...
