phosphorus-cycling
Phosphorus cycling refers to the biological and chemical processes by which phosphorus moves through soils, plants, and ecosystems, including uptake by roots, incorporation into plant tissues, and return to the soil through decomposition. Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plants, playing a critical role in energy transfer (ATP), nucleic acid synthesis, and membrane structure. Understanding phosphorus cycling is vital for plant science because phosphorus availability in soil is often a key limiting factor for plant growth, making research into root-soil interactions, mycorrhizal associations, and plant phosphorus-use efficiency central to improving crop productivity and sustainable agriculture.
