Abstract The global phosphorus challenge arises from the uneven distribution of phosphorus resources, environmental effects from phosphorus losses and unsustainable linear management. Despite progress in advanced phosphorus recycling, less than 1% of secondary phosphorus resources produced globally are recycled. In this Review, we comprehensively explore global barriers to phosphorus recycling.

1 Introduction Cover crops (CCs) have been extensively investigated as a strategic tool to enhance phosphorus (P) cycling in agroecosystems, and can positively contribute to the main crop's yields and P uptake (Hallama et al. 2019). However, study outcomes vary considerably, influenced by factors such as plant species and ecosystem functionality (Finney and Kaye 2017), soil bio-physico-chemical properties (Rose et al.
