Summary: Nutrition is a crucial factor in the growth and development of plants, particularly in terms of flowering. The process of flowering represents a transition from vegetative to reproductive stages, which requires nutrient consumption. Furthermore, nutrients such as nitrate act as signals that impact flowering. This review aims to enhance our understanding of how plant nutrition influences flowering by examining the relationships between nutrients (primarily nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and the flowering process.

Summary: Substrate-grown crops in southern Spain make up 10% of intensive greenhouse horticulture, and their free-draining nature leads to significant nutrient loss in drainage, causing water contamination. This study examined two management approaches, ratio-based and uptake concentration-based, to reduce nutrient loss in drainage. Both strategies significantly reduced nutrient application, with ratio-based management reducing nutrient loss by 58-77% and uptake concentration-based management reducing it by 65-80%.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the fertilizing effects of digestate on soil properties. The results showed that digestate not only contains essential nutrients for crops but also can alter the biogeochemical cycle of nutrients and soil functionality. However, at high doses, digestate application negatively affected soil enzyme activities, microbial biomass, and soil P and C cycling capacity.

Summary: This study compared the effects of different organic matter amendments (OMA) on nutrient dynamics in no-till soil, finding that OMA sources can increase soil N availability and SOC, with no differences in C, N, and P release rates but a significant K release rate. Additionally, both OMA sources significantly increased in SOC and TN, advancing understanding of nutrient dynamics while conserving soil through no-till practices.

Summary: Flooding in forested areas can release nutrients, but there is no clear relationship with organic matter content. Different rates of nitrogen and phosphorus release may alter the nitrogen-phosphorus ratio in water bodies. Predicted increase in future flooding may lead to forested areas becoming long-term nutrient sources to aquatic ecosystems.

Summary: Balancing nutrient inputs and exports is crucial for maintaining soil fertility in rainfed crop and pasture farming systems. Findings show that nitrogen and potassium inputs were inadequate in a majority of fields, while phosphorus and sulfur balances were mostly positive.

Summary: Vegetation restoration can effectively improve soil quality in post-mining lands by increasing soil carbon, nutrients, and enzymatic activities. This global study evaluated the potential effects of vegetation restoration on soil variables using data from 4838 paired observations. The results showed consistent positive effects of vegetation restoration on soil carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and enzymatic activities. Restoration effects were influenced by mine type and moderated by latitude, climate, vegetation species richness, restoration year, and initial soil properties.

Summary: Anthropogenic global change is causing more frequent and intense drought and flood events, leading to imbalances and limitations in soil nutrients. This has become a global challenge for biodiversity conservation and food security. Plants have evolved strategies, such as mycorrhizas and root exudates, to enhance nutrient uptake under environmental stress conditions. However, the effects of these strategies on metal nutrients are still unclear. Therefore, further research is needed to improve nutrient uptake capacity in food crops.

Summary: The concept of the Soil Fertility Clock is based on the adaptability of essential nutrients in the soil and provides an effective way to control fertilizer nitrogen production. By balancing nitrogen with other nutrients, the maximum crop yield can be achieved.

Summary: The study found that the selection effect of plants had a stronger impact on the measured parameters than complementarity effects. The presence of peas increased biomass production of oats and mustard, as well as nutrient concentration of oats, while the phosphorus concentration of peas decreased in the presence of oats and mustard.

Summary: The study found that nutrient resorption plays a key role in maintaining efficient nutrient cycling in old-growth tropical forests on the Guiana Shield, with higher resorption efficiencies observed for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Nitrogen (N) and P resorptions were positively related to their foliar concentrations, while K resorption was higher in the wet season. Seasonality and biochemical limitation influenced nutrient resorption in leaves, while species-specific requirements obscured general tendencies.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term effects of compost on soil nutrient and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) concentration, nutrient budgets, and nitrogen (N) mineralization and efficiency. The results showed that compost application increased soil nutrient and pH values, but the nutrient stoichiometry provided by compost did not match crop offtakes, resulting in nutrient imbalances.

Summary: This study found that planting and incorporation of hairy vetch can significantly increase rice grain yield and reduce nitrogen fertilizer use in temperate cropping systems. Hairy vetch also provides readily available nitrogen and phosphorus sources for rice, allowing for better synchronization of soil nutrient availability and crop nutrient demand, resulting in improved rice grain yield and quality performance.

Summary: Our study found that leaf nitrogen resorption efficiency remained constant, while phosphorus and potassium resorption efficiency decreased with overstory succession. Additionally, we observed variations in leaf phosphorus levels between younger and older mixed stands compared to monocultures in Populus tremuloides.
