by KeAi Communications Co. Effects of phosphorus resorption on bioactive phosphorus of different-aged Pinus massoniana plantations. Credit: Xue, X. P., et al. Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient element in plant photosynthesis. However, the adsorption of mineral P via leaching and erosion leads to a decrease in P availability and consequently P deficiency. In a
