The Cumulative Amount of Exuded Citrate Controls Its Efficiency to Mobilize Soil Phosphorus
Root exudation of citrate is discussed as mechanism to mobilize P from the soils' solid phase. Microbial processes can mitigate the mobilization efficiency of citrate. Due to higher microbial activity in topsoils compared to subsoils, we hypothesized a lower mobilization efficiency of exuded ci...
