Phosphorus cycle, 2: Role of soil microorganisms and its relevance in plant nutrition
1981
Borie, F. | Barea, J.M.
Microorganisms are know to play a key role in the turnover of soil phosphorus a major element in plant nutrition. The microbial transformations of phosphorus compounds (solubilization of inorganic phosphates, mineralization of organic phosphates and inmobilization processes) are reviewed in this paper. The types of microorganisms involved and the action mechanisms responsibles for the microbial activity are discussed. The significance of mycorrhizal fungi in the translocation of phosphate from soil solution into plant roots and, hence, in the recycling of this nutrient in the ecosystem is also considered
