Combining spectroscopic and isotopic techniques gives a dynamic view of phosphorus cycling in soil
Our understanding of phosphorus (P) cycling in soils, a basis for many ecosystem services, has been limited by the complexity of P forms and processes. Here the authors use spectroscopic and isotopic techniques to estimate turnover times of P pools and tease apart biologically-driven and geochemical...
