The dynamics and availability of nutrients in soil can limit the growth of plants and microbes. These forces underpin how ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions. Researchers ...

Breast cancer can spread—or metastasize—to many different parts of the body, but it's not well understood why tumors grow better in some organs than others. In a study titled "Nutrient requirements of ...

Temperature and nutrient supply interactively control phytoplankton growth and productivity, yet the role of these drivers together still has not been determined experimentally over large spatial ...

Fig. 2: Projected changes in the availability of calcium, iron, omega-3 fatty acids and protein from global potential fish and invertebrate production for the twenty-first century under climate change ...

To grow, plants must absorb nutrients from the soil. Not only must these nutrients be present in sufficient quantities, they must also be available for uptake by the plant. Nutrient availability is ...
