An incubation experiment was carried out to study the effect of montmorillonite on pH, the fractions and availability of phosphorus in a sandy yellow soil (SY) and a mineral flavicant soil (MF) applied with biogas residues of swine manure (BSR). The rates of montmorillonite applied were 0%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%, respectively. The results indicated that soil pH was not affected by BSR, but was significantly increased by montmorillonite. In both soils, application of BSR caused an increase in the content and proportion of Al-P during the incubation, and an increase in the content but a slight decrease in the proportion of Fe-P in later period of incubation. The concentration of O-P was not markedly changed, but its proportion was decreased by applying BSR in both soils. The changes of Ca-P varied with soils. BSR had no significant influence on Ca-P content, but decreased the proportion of Ca-P in SY, meanwhile, it increased both Ca-P content and proportion in MF. Addition of montmorillonite in soils applied with BSR decreased the contents and proportions of Al-P and O-P, and the proportion of Fe-P did not change the contents of Fe-P, but increased the content and proportion of Ca-P in SY. In MF, montmorillonite could decrease the contents and proportions of Fe-P and O-P, and the proportion of Al-P did not affect the content of Al-P, but increased the contents and proportions of Ca-P greatly. The contents of available phosphorus (A-P) were enhanced by 17.9%-38.0% and 17.1%-33.7% in SY and MF respectively, and the phosphorus activation coefficient (PVC) was significantly improved in both soils by applying BSR. The contents of A-P were reduced by 8.8%-35.5% and 1.1%-11.6% in SY and MF respectively. Correlation analysis showed that montmorillonite reduced the availability of phosphorus through increasing pH and contents of Ca-P, decreasing the content of Al-P in SY, and through increasing pH and decreasing content of Fe-P in MF. The availability of phosphorus in SY was influenced more obviously than that in MF by montmorillonite.

Rapid environmental changes across Europe include warmer and increasingly variable temperatures, changes in soil nutrient availability, and pollinator decline. These abiotic and biotic changes can affect natural plant populations and force them to optimize resource use against competitors. To date, the evolution of competitive ability in the context of changes in nutrient availability remains understudied.

Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and extensive farming can degrade soil properties so that leading to decline in crop yields. Combining plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biochar (BC) may be an alternative way to mitigate this situation. However, the proportion of PGPR and BC at which crop yield can be improved, as well as the improvement effect extent on different eco-geographic region and crops, remain unclear.

Combining existing databases, we estimated global phosphorus stocks in croplands and grasslands that are not readily available to plants as 32-41% of the 2020 estimated geologic phosphorus reserves, representing 146-186 years of the 2020 mass of phosphorus fertilizer applied annually. Especially if accessed by more efficient crops, this stock could reduce the need for additional fertilizer, improve water quality and contribute to all-round phosphorus sustainability.

Phosphorus in soil mostly exists in complex compounds such as phytic acid, which reduces the effectiveness of phosphorus and limits agricultural production. Phytase has the activity of hydrolyzing phytate into phosphate. The mineralization of phytate in soil by phytase secreted by microorganisms is an effective way to improve the utilization rate of phytate.
