Elevation-dependent shifts in soil phosphorus forms and phosphorus-solubilizing microbial diversity suggest enhanced bioavailable phosphorus cycling with rising temperatures

Microbiology Spectrum
Phosphorus is a crucial nutrient for plant growth, primarily found as insoluble phosphates in soil. The impact of climate change on the phosphorus cycle, particularly through geochemical cycling in forest soils, is underexplored.
