Foliar gypsum formation and litter production in the desert shrub, acacia bivenosa, influences sulfur and calcium biogeochemical cycling in arid habitats.
Aims: Some sulfur-accumulating species from arid habitats facilitate a little-understood foliar gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) biomineralisation. This study seeks to increase our understanding of the ecophysiological and nutritional function of phytogenic gypsum, including how gypsum-formers influence soil S a...
