Effects of phosphorus limitations on Life, Earth system and Society (IMBALANCE-P)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

P is an earthbound and finite element and the prospect of constrained access to mineable P resources has already triggered geopolitical disputes. In contrast to P, availabilities of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to ecosystems are rapidly increasing in most areas of the globe. The resulting imminent change in the stoichiometry of available elements will have no equivalent in the Earth’s history and w ...
