TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.

TL;DR: It is reported that P limitation is more widespread and much stronger than previously estimated and often occurs in other regions, suggesting that previous studies have underestimated the importance of altered P supply on aboveground plant production in natural terrestrial ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, data from a 25-year fertilization experiment in the humid subtropical region of Southern China were used to evaluate and quantify the effect of fertilization on crop yields via soil fertility.

TL;DR: Overall, soil available P, indexed by Hedley labile inorganic P fraction, significantly decreased with increasing mean annual temperature (MAT) and precipitation (MAP), suggesting that temperature and precipitation have contrasting effects on soil P availability and can interact with soil particle size to control soil Pavailability.

TL;DR: In this article, a group of experts consider the global issues associated with phosphorus in the terrestrial environment, methodological strengths and weaknesses, benefits to be gained from understanding the Po cycle, and to set priorities for Po research.
