Phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable resource and is on the European Union's list of critical raw materials. It is predicted that the P consumption peak will occur in the next 10 to 20 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find accessible sources in the immediate environment, such as soil, and to use alternative resources of P such as waste streams. While enormous progress has been made in chemical P recovery technologies, most biological technologies for P recovery are still in the developmental stage and are not reaching industrial application. Nevertheless, biological P recovery could offer good solutions as these technologies can return P to the human P cycle in an environmentally friendly way. This mini-review provides an overview of the latest approaches to make P available in soil and to recover P from plant residues, animal and human waste streams by exploiting the universal trait of P accumulation and P turnover in microorganisms and plants.
磷（P）是一种不可再生资源，且在欧盟关键原材料清单上。据预测，磷的消费峰值将在未来10至20年内出现。因此，迫切需要在周边环境中找到可利用的磷源，如土壤，并使用磷的替代资源，如废物流。虽然化学磷回收技术已取得巨大进展，但大多数生物磷回收技术仍处于开发阶段，尚未实现工业应用。然而，生物磷回收可以提供很好的解决方案，因为这些技术能够以环境友好的方式将磷返还至人类磷循环中。本综述概述了利用微生物和植物中磷积累及磷周转的普遍特性，使土壤中磷可利用以及从植物残体、动物和人类废物流中回收磷的最新方法。
