Journal ArticleDOI
Competitive sorption reactions between phosphorus and organic matter in soil: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the reported decreases in P sorption are not related to competition from the decomposition products of organic matter breakdown, but are the result of P release from the OM that was not accounted for when calculating the reduction in P-sorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil and the intensification of agriculture for global food security.
TL;DR: The concept of the Water-Food-Energy nexus must be expanded, forming the Water/Soil/Energy nexus, because ongoing soil degradation is decreasing the long-term ability of soils to provide humans with services, including future food production, and is causing environmental harm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of extractants for estimation of the phytoavailable trace metals in soils.
TL;DR: It would appear that neutral salt extractants provide the most useful indication of metal phytoavailability across a range of metals of interest, although further research is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of ZnO nanoparticles in soils and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).
Peng Wang,Neal W. Menzies,Enzo Lombi,Brigid A. McKenna,Bernt Johannessen,Christopher Glover,Peter Kappen,Peter M. Kopittke +7 more
TL;DR: Under the current experimental conditions, the similarity in uptake and toxicity of Zn from ZnO-NPs and soluble Zn in soils indicates that the ZnNPs used in this study did not constitute nanospecific risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the primary lesion of toxic aluminum in plant roots
Peter M. Kopittke,Katie L. Moore,Enzo Lombi,Alessandra Gianoncelli,Brett J. Ferguson,F. Pax C. Blamey,Neal W. Menzies,Timothy M. Nicholson,Brigid A. McKenna,Peng Wang,Peter M. Gresshoff,George Kourousias,Richard I. Webb,Kathryn Green,Alina Tollenaere +14 more
TL;DR: The primary mechanism of aluminum toxicity was found to be apoplastic, with aluminum binding to the cell wall inhibiting loosening required for root elongation, showing the importance of focusing on traits related to cell wall composition as well as mechanisms involved in wall loosening to overcome the deleterious effects of soluble Al.
