Crystallization of single and binary iron- and aluminum hydroxides affect phosphorus desorption. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 182(5),
741-750. doi:10.1002/jpln.201700543
In acidic soils, phosphorus availability is affected by its strong affinity for mineral surfaces, especially Fe- and Al-hydroxides. Plant roots have developed adaptive strategies to enhance the availability of phosphorus, including producing and exuding low molecular weight organic acids with a high…
