Zn deficiency causes a decrease in plant growth and yield.

The reduction in lateral root elongation is partially explained by the overall decrease in plant growth under low phosphorus, since this would also decrease resources available for continued root development.

Therefore, we suggest that the decrease in plant growth caused by AC was more likely to be caused by decreases in positive plant soil interactions (i.e. E, F and J in Fig.  6) than by increases in negative plant soil interactions (i.e. B, C, G, I and K in Fig.  6).
