Tradeoffs among phosphorus-acquisition root traits of crop species for agroecological intensification

Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Interactions between cover crops and soil microorganisms increase phosphorus availability in conservation agriculture

“…Cover crops influence P-cycling within soil-plant systems (Eichler-Löbermann et al 2009;Honvault et al 2020). In this study, combined chemical, biochemical, and microbiological methods were used to elucidate whether the growth of cover crops in combination with no-till might change microbial abundance and functions and lead to modifications in plant available P pools in soil.…”

Root-Derived Proteases as a Plant Tool to Access Soil Organic Nitrogen; Current Stage of Knowledge and Controversies

“…In addition, other mechanisms to access the high molecular weight organic N may differ between the species. As plant species differ in their preferences to N and P forms, analogically their strategies of N and P acquisition also differ [54,[66][67][68].…”

Rhizosphere 5 - shining light on the world beneath our feet

“…Therefore, rational P fertilisation should be considered for efficient Zn biofortification on Zn-deficient soils and phytoremediation of Zncontaminated soils. Honvault et al (2021) found that plant P-acquisition strategies are driven by multiple belowground morphological and physiological traits as well as interactions among these traits. Interactions and trade-offs among belowground functional traits, however, remain underexplored, especially for fast-growing crops such as cover crops, limiting our understanding of P cycling in agroecosystems.…”
