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

Northwestern University-led researchers have discovered a new way that nature cycles phosphorus, a finding that uncovers a missing piece of Earth’s puzzling phosphorus cycle. The research will be ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic—from ...

The stabilization of Earth’s climate could be negated by faster processes related to organic carbon, turning warming events ...

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 ...

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 ...

A simulation model of the phosphorus cycle in semiarid grasslands was developed and tested. When used with data sets for biotic and abiotic driving variables of the Pawnee (Colorado) and Matador ...

Boundary 1: No more than 35 million tonnes of nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere per year Nitrogen is an essential component of all living things, yet only a small amount of the planet’s stock ...

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 ...
