soil-nutrient-cycling
Soil nutrient cycling refers to the biological, chemical, and physical processes by which essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon are transformed and made available to plants within the soil ecosystem. Understanding these cycles is fundamental to plant science because nutrient availability directly governs plant growth, metabolism, and productivity. Research in this area informs how plants interact with soil microbiomes, adapt root architecture and exudate chemistry to acquire limiting nutrients, and respond to environmental changes that disrupt nutrient flows.
