Ameliorating soil acidity with calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide: effects on carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus dynamics
Published 2023Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is frequently used to ameliorate soil acidity in agricultural soils. An alternative is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which is more soluble than CaCO3. However, the associated change in soil ...Open AccessArticle -
Drought and interspecific competition increase belowground carbon allocation for nitrogen acquisition in monocultures and mixtures of Trifolium repens and Lolium perenne
Published 2022Purpose Belowground carbon (C) allocation for nitrogen (N) acquisition plays a crucial role in determining primary productivity and plant competitiveness in legume-grass mixtures, but beyond modeling and qualitative ...Open AccessArticle -
Global analysis of phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency in cereal crops
Published 2021Due to limits in global phosphate rock reserves for fertilizer use, it is vital to increase phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency (PFUE) to maintain agricultural productivity and food security. With 865 observations from ...Open AccessArticle -
Nitrogen and phosphorus availability have stronger effects on gross and net nitrogen mineralisation than wheat rhizodeposition
Published 2022Soil nitrogen (N) availability is determined by microbial gross N mineralisation (GNM) and immobilisation, where net N mineralisation (NNM) represents their balance. Plants provide a substantial amount of their photosynthesized ...Open AccessArticle -
Reallocation of nitrogen and phosphorus from roots drives regrowth of grasses and sedges after defoliation under deficit irrigation and nitrogen enrichment
Published 20211. Reallocation of nutrients from roots to shoots is essential for plant regrowth in grasslands, particularly in nutrient-poor conditions. However, the response of root nutrient reallocation to changes in nitrogen (N) and ...Open AccessArticle
