Take home message Soil organic phosphorus (P org ) can significantly assist in minimizing the adverse effects of chemical phosphorus fertilizers on aquatic and marine resources. Success to achieve the desired lasting transformation is primarily reliant on the drastic reduction of wasteful applications of chemical phosphorus fertilizers, thereby paving the way for proper investment of soil P org reserves. To this end, organically‐bound phosphorus can be viewed as a cornerstone for the future development of agriculture. Thus, we consider it very timely to emphasize the suitability of soil P org to lead the way.
