Phosphorus cycling

Rhizosphere phosphorus mobilization: phosphatases, organic acids and fast re-sorption

2 steps

Low Phosphate induces plant and microbial phosphatases and phytases that hydrolyse organic P (about 30-65% of total soil P in many soils)
Phytate (inositol hexakisphosphate) is the main identified organic P but sorbs strongly to Fe and Al oxides and clay, limiting access
