Research scientist position in our group now available. Experience in P biogeochemistry is preferred, but not essential. Large focus will be on stable and radioactive isotopes for evaluating soil-water-crop C, N, P and S transfers.

In our latest article, we demonstrate that:
(i) Zn speciation is not a reliable predictor of fertiliser Zn effectiveness;
(ii) a coated barrier between P and Zn improves plant Zn uptake,
(iii) Zn water solubility is maximised by decreasing granule pH.

@donflaten1 And it’s important to address it early and not leave it until subsoils have acidified as that is very difficult to rectify - add neutralising agents (i.e. lime) regularly.
