phosphates

Researchers are trying to better understand how several kinds of interactions affect phosphorus mobility in agricultural soils and streams

Study is first to show how to mobilize native phosphorus in the soil using zinc oxide nanoparticles over the life cycle of the plant, from seed to harvest

“In some parts of the tropics, for every ton of phosphorus harvested in food, you have to donate one ton to the soil.” 

ASU part of research that finds massive phosphorus buildup in landscape

Scientists  found that phosphate alternatives such as polysaccharides—a type of carbohydrate often used as a food additive—can help retain water in shrimp

Study shows declines in whales, fish, seabirds and large animals damage Earth’s nutrient cycle

Researchers test four types of steel byproducts to determine their phosphate removal capacity
