Nutritional?soil states are the foundation of
productivity and sustainability of agro-ecosystems. Recent progress in studies
of soil-plant interactions has elucidated the complex processes by?which
nutrients are turned over, rendered bioavailable and taken up by plants. This
paper aims to review latest research advances in optimization of?soil nutrient
dynamics and to address synergistic relationships that exist among soil
properties, microbial activity, root exudates and nutrient transport. Attention
is?paid to innovative strategies (precision agriculture, biotechnological
interventions, regenerative practices) aimed at improving nutrient use
efficiency and minimizing environmental pollution. It is?essential to
understand these dynamics to manage global food security and at the same time
preserve nutritional security.
