Abstract
Phosphorus is a chemical element that is essential to life because of its role in numerous key molecules, including DNA and RNA; indeed, organisms require large amounts of P to grow rapidly. However, the supply of P from the environment is often limiting to production, including to crops. Thus, large amounts ...

Abstract
Phosphate is the element that arguably fulfills the most diverse cellular functions, including structure, energy and information storage, and energy and information transfer. While the phosphate inventory of a cell can be rapidly quantified by ever improving analytical techniques, the (dynamic) interplay of the molecules and the thereof resulting functions cannot easily be resolved ...

Abstract
Phosphorus loss from land, due to agricultural intensification, can impair water quality. The quantity lost is a function of runoff and availability, which is affected by inputs and the ability of the soil to retain P. Losses are exacerbated if surface runoff or drainage occurs soon after P inputs (e.g. fertiliser and/or manure and dung ...
