The phrase "availability to plants" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the accessibility or presence of resources that plants can utilize, such as nutrients or water.
Example: "The availability to plants of essential nutrients in the soil directly affects their growth and health."
Alternatives: "accessibility for plants" or "supply for plants".
The addition of organic materials with C N ratios >30 affects plant growth due to immobilization of the available N pool by soil microbes, restricting N availability to plants (Ahmad et al. 2006).
Mineral soil phosphorus, a key nutrient limiting plant growth, is divided into three categories as per availability to plants, i.e., phosphorous soluble in the soil solution and available for plant uptake, labile phosphorous in the solid phase ready to be solubilised in soil solution and insoluble or fixed phosphorous in the solid phase (Kuhad et al. 2011; Swain et al. 2012).
The pH of a soil has a dramatic impact on nutrient availability to plants.
Overall, P availability to plants is greater in limed acid soils [47].
Increment on cations concentration (K+ and Ca2+ + Mg2+) could be observed, suggesting a higher availability to plants.
The nutrients present in these materials are recycled through adopting suitable technology to improve their availability to plants.
These N application methods as well as localized microbial turnover of organic N can result in spatial and temporal heterogeneity (patchiness) of soil N resulting in non-uniform availability to plant roots.
It was shown for various plant species that the activity of AlaAT, as well as the accumulation of alanine, increases when the oxygen availability to plant tissues decreases (Good and Muench 1993; Muench and Good 1994; Miyashita et al. 2007; Limami et al. 2008; Rocha et al. 2010).
In order to check the usefulness of PIM devices in metal speciation studies and metal availability to potato plants (Solanum tuberosum), Zn has been chosen as a case study.
In turn, healthy microbial communities enhance soil nutrient availability to the plants [5], [8].
Light availability to submerged plants also decreases, and markedly so when floodwaters are turbid (Mommer and Visser 2005; Voesenek et al. 2006).
