To ensure data source credibility and retrieval accuracy, this research utilized the core collection of Web of Science (WOS, https://www.webofscience.com/wos) as the database. We conducted the search on December 31, 2023, spanning from January 1, 1994, to December 31, 2023. The search was conducted in "Web of Science Core Collection," with "All" selected in "Editions." The search query focused primarily on "Phosphorus-solubilizing microorganism," and the data retrieval strategies were designed as follows: Boolean operator: (TS = ("phosphor-releas" OR "phosphor-solubili" OR "phosphate-releas" OR "phosphate-solubili" OR "phosphor-mobiliz" OR "phosphate-mobiliz" OR "phosphor releas" OR "phosphor solubili" OR "phosphate releas" OR "phosphate solubili" OR "phosphor mobiliz" OR "phosphate mobiliz")) AND (TS = (microorganism OR microb OR bacteria OR Fungi OR Fungus)) AND (TS = (ecolog OR ecosystem OR environment OR nutrient OR fertilit )) AND (TS = (rehabilit OR restor OR improve OR remedia OR bioremedia OR sustainab OR manage)). The search was limited to English-language research studies, specifically selecting "Article", "Proceeding Paper", and "Review Article" as data sources. This query yielded 1378 English publications. The retrieved literature, comprising author names, titles, abstracts, and source publications, was exported in plain text format for subsequent analysis. Concurrently, Endnote software was utilized to filter and remove irrelevant and duplicate keywords. To ensure the inclusion of the latest studies, an additional search was conducted on December 9, 2024, extending the dataset to include publications up to December 31, 2024. This supplementary search yielded 244 additional publications.
