Global meta-analysis shows pervasive phosphorus limitation of aboveground plant production in natural terrestrial ecosystems. [PDF]
Phosphorus (P) limitation of aboveground plant production is usually assumed to occur in tropical regions but rarely elsewhere. Here we report that such P limitation is more widespread and much stronger than previously estimated.

Purple non-sulphur bacteria and plant production: benefits for fertilization, stress resistance and the environment. [PDF]
Purple non‐sulphur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic microorganisms, which increasingly gain attention in plant production due to their ability to produce and accumulate high‐value compounds that are beneficial for plant growth.
