Iron oxide in soil performs the same transformation as plants and microbes that are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Northwestern ...

Initially, the authors discovered that using weakly nucleophilic hexafluoroisopropanol as the nucleophile enabled the selective synthesis of trivalent phosphorus at a high current density of 44.4 ...

This means that phosphorus is left in the water instead of being washed away through rivers and streams. As a result, very high concentrations of phosphorus can build up in these soda lakes. As early ...
