Diazotrophic Azotobacter salinestris YRNF3: a probable calcite-solubilizing bio-agent for improving the calcareous soil properties
Abstract Calcareous soils are characterized by a high calcium carbonate content (calcite), which plays a crucial role in the soil structure, plant growth, and nutrient availability. The high content of CaCO3 leads to the increment of the soil alkalinity, which results in a lowering of the nutrient a...
