Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may trigger a series of geological and biological processes that could ensure the next ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 22 (June 2, 2020), pp. 11961-11967 (7 pages) The Ediacaran Period (635 to 541 Ma) marks the global ...

The phosphorus cycle is a vital component of global biogeochemistry, governing nutrient availability and ecosystem productivity. In recent years, research has expanded our understanding of phosphorus ...

Iron oxide in soil performs the same transformation as plants and microbes that are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Northwestern ...

In episode 10 of Corn College TV, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie explains how phosphorus is available to the corn plant like a drip IV. “We try to make our best guess how much phosphorus is ...

Disrupting Earth’s chemical cycles brings trouble. But planet-warming carbon dioxide isn’t the only element whose cycle we’ve turned wonky—we’ve got a phosphorus problem too. And it’s a big one, ...

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient element in plant photosynthesis. However, the adsorption of mineral P via leaching and erosion leads to a decrease in P availability and consequently P ...

New research sheds light on how pollutants from aerosols and river run-off are impacting coastal seas. The research identified an 'Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump' which changes the phosphorus cycle and ...

Phosphorus is a building block of all living cells. It is part of the structure of DNA. Cells use it to make membranes and many other molecules used in metabolism. In the earth's current environment, ...

Using isolated spinach (hybrid 424) chloroplasts deprived of their envelopes (reconstituted chloroplast system), the metabolism of glucose, glucose 1-phosphate, and glucose 6-phosphate via the ...
