Shifting the paradigm for phosphorus fertilization in the advent of the fertilizer crisis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2023
Crop production and food security will be challenged by the availability of phosphate rock and its derived phosphorus (P) fertilizers in the coming decades. Croplands around the world have traditionally received huge amounts of P fertilizers.

The Effects of Land Use Types and Soil Depths on Soil Micronutrients, Soil pH, and Organic Carbon in Southern Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science
Soil micronutrients are vital for the enhancement of soil and crop productivity. Its deficiency can result in severe crop failure. Hence, exploring the status of soil micronutrients under different land use types and soil depths is crucial.

The soil quality concept as a tool for exposing values in science and promoting sustainability considerations [PDF]

, 2004
The term soil quality has mainly been used as a technical concept for grading soils. It is important that the values and goals in soil use planning and soil management are explicitly stated and related to the soil quality indicators.
