Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enhanced nutrient management practices are essential to ensure food security, natural resource conservation, and environmental quality protection.
Native supply of plant nutrients intimately depends on numerous complex organic–inorganic compound interactions, where increasing soil organic matter content can substantially enhance plant nutrient buffer capacity. In addition, quantifying the residual availability of soil applied nutrients potentially reduces subsequent nutrient application rates.
We invite manuscript submissions of original research and literature reviews related to increased soil organic matter effects on nutrient supply and innovative methods to assess residual nutrient availability.
Prof. Dr. John Havlin
