Trees are major primary producers and long-term carbon sink by yielding a substantial amount of woody biomass, which relies on sufficient acquisition of mineral nutrient from soil by roots. Phosphate (Pi) is an essential, but often limited in soils, macronutrient. To sustain growth during Pi starvation, plants tr...
