Cover Story: Understanding the assimilation of P through APases in the plant–soil/plant–microbiota ecosystem can be crucial for crop productivity and yields. This review qualitatively underscores the significance of APases in P uptake in agroecosystems and their role in the global P cycle. Observable changes in APase activity can be attributed to soil biophysicochemical properties, agricultural management practices, pollutants, and climate change. Although the selected studies cannot produce a meaningful summary estimate of the effect of more than two factors, the information obtained will enable us to manage agricultural systems to promote the capabilities of plants and associated microorganisms to assimilate nutrients and understand microbial-mediated processes and the dynamics of soil health.
