摘要：Phosphorus (P) is one of the most critical elements of biological building blocks and plays a crucial role in the cellular energy metabolism of all living organisms. Since no other element can substitute for P in biochemical pro- cesses, humans ultimately rely on P availability. Modern farming relies heavily on phosphorus, which is derived from phosphate (P i ) fertilizers, to enhance agricultural production in soils. Therefore, P availability is critical to our present and future food security. Moreover, P is widely used in industry as an essential element. It constitutes an important raw material for a variety of industrial products, including electronics, chemical catalysts, food additives, flame retardants and pharmaceuticals.
