Bowman-Cole石灰性土壤有机磷分组法的改进

本文研究了Bowman-Cole土壤有机磷分组法应用于石灰性土壤存在的若干问题,并提出了改进法。改进法的四组土壤有机磷(P0)的分组为:在氯仿预处理土样后用0.5molL-1NaHCO3浸提活性P0;然后,先用0.05molL-1NaOH、后用1molL-1H2SO4处理残余土样浸提中度活性P0,0.05molL-1NaOH提取的无机磷和1molL-1H2SO4提取的有机磷属于中度活性P0;在氯仿和0.5molL-1NaHCO3处理后,用0.05molL-1NaOH浸提稳定性P0,把浸提液的酸度调至pH3.00时,上清液中的有机磷为中度稳定性P0,而沉淀中的有机磷为高稳性P0。结果表明,改进法能更好地区分具有不同矿化率的有机磷化合物,例如,核酸、甘油磷酸、植酸钙、肌醇三磷酸铁、植酸铁等。改进法增加了超声波处理,使震荡时间也明显缩短。因此,石灰性土壤有机磷分组的改进法比Bowman-Cole法更理想。     

复垦煤矸山不同利用类型土壤微生物群落分析

土壤微生物是表征土壤质量状况的重要指标,因此研究其群落特征对指导煤矸山植被恢复具有重要意义。以山西霍州曹村矿煤矸山为对象,分析了农田(WL)、果园(PO)和草地(GL)3种土地利用类型0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层土壤微生物群落结构。结果表明:(1)3种复垦样地土壤微生物总数、微生物总浓度和微生物群落浓度均低于普通农田(CK),表明该煤矸山复垦地土壤质量状况仍未达到与普通农田相当的水平。(2)从土壤微生物群落结构看,3种土地利用类型中革兰氏阳性菌、细菌和放线菌所占比例无显著差异,而革兰氏阴性菌和真菌占比有显著变化。(3)在3种样地中,WL和PO样地中的优势菌种均为细菌16∶0、真菌18∶1 w9c和革兰氏阳性菌i15∶0、a15∶0;而GL样地中的优势菌种为细菌16∶0、真菌18∶1 w9c和革兰氏阳性菌i15∶0。

不同林龄杉木林下套种阔叶树对土壤磷组分的影响

套种是杉木人工林经营的重要措施,磷是南方森林生态系统中主要限制性养分元素之一,但套种模式对土壤磷素的影响尚不明确。以亚热带杉木人工林表层(0-10 cm)土壤为对象,研究套种林(杉阔套种幼林、杉阔套种成熟林)和杉木幼林土壤理化性质和土壤各形态磷含量差异,分析套种对杉木人工林土壤磷含量的影响。结果表明:(1)不同套种林显著改变土壤总磷、土壤总无机磷、土壤总有机磷、土壤微生物生物量磷(MBP)和土壤酸性磷酸酶活性(APA),大小顺序均为杉阔套种成熟林>杉阔套种幼林>杉木幼林。(2)土壤各磷组分中活性磷含量较低,其中NaHCO3-Po在活性组分中占主导;土壤NaOH-Po是中等活性磷的主要组分,杉阔套种成熟林尤为显著;闭蓄态磷(Residual-P)在总磷含量中最高。(3)与杉木幼林相比,杉阔套种成熟林显著增加了树脂提取态磷(Resin-Pi)、碳酸氢钠提取态有机和无机磷(NaHCO3-Pi、NaHCO3-Po)、氢氧化钠提取态有机和无机磷(NaOH-Pi、NaOH-Po)、氢氧化钠残留提取态有机磷(NaOHu.s-Po)、盐酸提取态磷(HCl-Pi)和闭蓄态磷(Residual-P)含量;土壤总无机磷、NaHCO3-Po、HCl-Pi、NaHCO3-Pi、NaOHu.s-Pi和Residual-P对杉阔套种幼林的响应不敏感。(4)除含水率外不同林龄下杉阔套种林土壤磷形态与土壤理化性质(土壤总碳氮、土壤可溶性有机氮、土壤微生物生物量磷、酸性磷酸酶)呈正相关性(P<0.05)。冗余分析表明,土壤磷组分的变化主要受MBP调控,且MBP与有机磷组分(NaOHu.s-Po、NaOH-Po)和HCI-Pi呈显著正相关。总之,套种林的土壤磷素有效性高于杉木幼林,土壤养分状况更佳。

  【目的】  研究了3种聚磷酸磷肥不同施用技术对石灰性土壤滴灌棉花生长和磷肥利用率的影响,为石灰性土壤上聚磷酸磷肥在滴灌棉花的合理施用提供理论支撑。  【方法】  以棉花为供试材料进行了滴灌盆栽试验。用聚合度为2.3、1.8的聚磷酸铵和聚合度为3.0的聚磷酸钾分别与常规磷酸二铵混合,得到3种含聚磷酸的掺混磷肥,依次表示为APP1、APP2和KTPP,掺混磷肥中3%的P₂O₅来自聚磷酸磷肥。在施磷量均为P₂O₅ 0.2 g/kg土壤前提下,每个掺混磷肥设基追比7∶3 (F_7∶3),1∶1 (F_1∶1)和3∶7 (F_3∶7) 3个处理,同时设置不施磷肥对照(CK),共10个处理。棉花出苗后110 天收获,测定植株地上部与地下部生物量和含磷量,同时分别测定0—8和8—16 cm土层土壤有效磷含量。  【结果】  3种供试聚磷酸磷肥在0—8 cm土层土壤有效磷含量均以F_7∶3处理显著低于F_1∶1和F_3∶7处理,8—16 cm土层土壤有效磷含量3个施用比例处理间无显著性差异。在F_7∶3处理下,0—8 cm土层土壤有效磷含量以KTPP处理显著高于APP1和APP2。在F_1∶1和F_3∶7处理下,0—8和8—16 cm土层土壤有效磷含量均为KTPP和APP1显著高于APP2。F_1∶1处理棉花地上部、地下部生物量均高于F_7∶3和F_3∶7处理。F_1∶1处理棉花结铃数最高,F_3∶7处理最低。F_1∶1处理下,KTPP和APP1棉花结铃数无显著差异,但均显著高于APP2。F_7∶3和F_1∶1处理棉花地上部吸磷量和磷肥利用效率均显著高于F_3∶7处理。在F_1∶1和F_3∶7基追比处理下,棉花地上部吸磷量和磷肥利用效率均表现为KTPP显著高于APP2,而APP1处于两者间。  【结论】  3种不同聚磷酸磷肥在石灰性土壤上对棉花的肥效表现为聚磷酸钾最优,其次为聚合度为2.3的聚磷酸铵,聚合度为1.8的聚磷酸铵效果略差。3种聚磷酸磷肥均以基追比1∶1施用棉花生物量积累和棉花磷肥利用率的效果最好。     

提取剂和土水比对旱耕地土壤无机和有机磷的提取效应

比较了O lsen(0.5 mol L-1NaHCO3)和B ray-1(0.03 mol L-1NH4F-0.025 mol L-1HC l)提取剂土水比1∶4和1∶20(W/V),对我国5种类型旱耕地土壤(pHKC l3.3~7.4)无机磷(Pi)和有机磷(Po)及外加正磷酸盐态无机磷的提取效应。结果表明,以O lsen提取剂土水比1∶20对土壤Pi和Po的提取效果最佳,其测定结果是评价土壤磷素供应能力(有效磷)和活性有机磷含量较为适宜的指标。测定的土壤大多数(占60%)磷素供应能力较差(O lsen-Pi为4.2~14.0mg kg-1),应适当加强其磷素的投入。测定的土壤活性有机磷(O lsen-PO)含量为1.4~37.9 mg kg-1,占土壤全磷的0.2%~15.8%,大多数(75%)土壤占1%~6%。采用O lsen提取剂时土壤外加Pi的固定率随土水比减小而增高,当土水比1∶4提取时,酸性和强酸性(pHKC l3.3~5.5)土壤对外加Pi的固定率达40%~86%,据此推测实际田间条件下土壤对外加Pi的固定率更大。表明酸性和强酸性旱耕地土壤对外加Pi具有强烈的固定作用。

黄河三角洲盐渍化荒地种植植物对土壤改良、磷形态转化及有效性的影响

为了明确种植不同植物对黄河三角洲盐渍化荒地改良效果、土壤磷形态转化及增效调控机制,研究了在生长芦苇的盐渍化荒地改变种植植物(柽柳、白蜡、苜蓿)的改良措施对土壤磷形态转化及有效含量的影响。结果表明:与荒地芦苇相比,3种植物种植均能显著提高0—20 cm土壤磷酸酶活性,柽柳种植显著降低0—20 cm土壤pH,促进0—20 cm土壤大颗粒团聚体形成,提高0—40 cm土壤有机碳含量,显著增加0—100 cm土壤盐渍化程度,促使土壤速效磷(Ca2—P)和缓效磷(Ca8—P和Al—P)向难溶性磷(Ca10—P)的转化,导致土壤磷有效性降低;白蜡种植显著降低0—100 cm土壤盐渍化程度及60—100 cm土壤pH,0—20 cm土壤小颗粒团聚体比例增加,0—40 cm土壤有机碳含量显著降低,促进土壤难溶性磷(O—P)向缓效磷(Fe—P)转化,有利于土壤磷有效性提高;苜蓿种植显著增加0—20 cm土壤有效磷含量,提高0—20 cm土壤磷酸酶活性,促进难溶性磷(O—P)、缓效磷(Ca8—P和Al—P)向速效磷的转化,0—20 cm土壤大颗粒团聚体比例增加有利于提升土壤磷有效性,其60—100 cm土壤pH增加不利于土壤磷的有效性提高;3种植物种植后土壤微生物量碳和微生物量磷显著降低,微生物量氮显著增加,土壤呼吸强度及脲酶活性均无显著变化。综上所述,白蜡种植最有利于降低土壤盐渍化程度和pH,苜蓿种植最有利于0—20 cm土壤磷有效性的提高,3种植物种植对20—100 cm土壤磷有效性无显著促进作用。由于3种植物对盐渍荒地改良时间较短,土壤微生物种群动态变化及对土壤磷形态转化过程及调控机制尚需深入研究。     

Quantifying microbial biomass phosphorus in acid soils

 This study aimed to validate the fumigation-extraction method for measuring microbial biomass P in acid soils. Extractions with the Olsen (0.5 M NaHCO₃, pH 8.5) and Bray-1 (0.03 M NH₄F–0.025 M HCl) extractants at two soil:solution ratios (1 : 20 and 1 : 4, w/v) were compared using eight acid soils (pH 3.6–5.9). The data indicated that the flushes (increases following CHCl₃-fumigation) of total P (P_t) and inorganic P (P_i) determined by Olsen extraction provided little useful information for estimating the amount of microbial biomass P in the soils. Using the Bray-1 extractant at a soil:solution ratio of 1 : 4, and analysing P_i instead of P_t, improves the reproducibility (statistical significance and CV) of the P flush in these soils. In all the approaches studied, the P_i flush determined using the Bray-1 extractant at 1 : 4 provided the best estimate of soil microbial biomass P. Furthermore, the recovery of cultured bacterial and fungal biomass P added to the soils and extracted using the Bray-1 extractant at 1 : 4 was relatively constant (24.1–36.7% and 15.7–25.7%, respectively) with only one exception, and showed no relationship with soil pH, indicating that it behaved differently from added P_i (recovery decreased from 86% at pH 4.6 to 13% at pH 3.6). Thus, correcting for the incomplete recovery of biomass P using added P_i is inappropriate for acid soils. Although microbial biomass P in soil is generally estimated using the P_i flush and a conversion factor (k _P) of 0.4, more reliable estimates require that k _P values are best determined independently for each soil.

Transformation of added phosphorus to acid upland soils with different soil properties in Indonesia

Abstract

The transformation of added phosphorus (P) to soil and the effect of soil properties on P transformations were investigated for 15 acid upland soils with different physicochemical properties from Indonesia. Based on oxide-related factor scores (aluminum (Al) plus 1/2 iron (Fe) (by ammonium oxalate), crystalline Al and Fe oxides, cation exchange capacity, and clay content) obtained from previous principal component analyses, soils were divided into two groups, namely Group 1 for soils with positive factor scores and Group 2 for those with negative factor scores. The amounts of soil P in different fractions were determined by: (i) resin strip in bicarbonate form in 30 mL distilled water followed by extraction with 0.5 mol L^?1 HCl (resin-P inorganic (P_i) that is readily available to plant), (ii) 0.5 mol L^?1 NaHCO₃ extracting P_{i and} P organic (P_o) (P which is strongly related to P uptake by plants and microbes and bound to mineral surface or precipitated Ca-P and Mg forms), (iii) 0.1 mol L^?1 NaOH extracting P_i and P_o (P which is more strongly held by chemisorption to Fe and Al components of soil surface) and (iv) 1 mol L^?1 HCl extracting P_i (Ca-P of low solubility). The transformation of added P (300 mg P kg^?1) into other fractions was studied by the recovery of P fractions after 1, 7, 30, and 90 d incubation. After 90 d incubation, most of the added P was transformed into NaOH-P_i fraction for soils of Group 1, while for soils of Group 2, it was transformed into resin-P_i, NaHCO₃-P_i and NaOH-P_i fractions in comparable amounts. The equilibrium of added P transformation was reached in 30 d incubation for soils of Group 1, while for soils of Group 2 it needed a longer time. Oxide-related factor scores were positively correlated with the rate constant (k) of P transformation and the recovery of NaOH-P_i. Additionally, not only the amount of but also the type (kaolinitic) of clay were positively correlated with the k value and P accumulation into NaOH-P_i. Soils developed from andesite and volcanic ash exhibited significantly higher NaOH-P_i than soils developed from granite, volcanic sediments and sedimentary rocks. Soil properties summarized as oxides-related factor, parent material, and clay mineralogy were concluded very important in assessing P transformation and P accumulation in acid upland soils in Indonesia.     

酸性土壤磷分级新方法建立与生物学评价

土壤磷分级方法可用于估算土壤有效磷数量、不同土壤磷组分库数量及其对土壤有效磷的补充能力。以云南赤红壤、黄红壤及湖北棕红壤为供试材料,运用张守敬方法、蒋柏藩方法及本文提出的新方法,对三种酸性土壤和其石灰改良后的土壤磷进行分级研究,探讨石灰改良对酸性土壤磷组分数量及其生物有效性的影响。结果表明:Ca2-P、Al-P和Fe-P是酸性土壤主要的有效磷源,O-P(闭蓄态磷)也是潜在有效磷源,土壤中活性有机磷库相对比较稳定,可转化为高活性有效磷源供植物吸收利用。与两种经典磷分级方法相比,新方法将O-P划分为O-Al-P和O-Fe-P,O-Fe-P较好地反映了石灰处理与对照之间的土壤磷植物有效性差异。     

土壤微生物体氮测定方法的研究

用熏蒸-0.5mol/LK2SO4 直接浸取NH4+-N法 (简称薰蒸 铵态氮法 ) ,熏蒸 淹水培养法和熏蒸 通气培养法测定了有机质、全氮和C/N比差异较大的 15种土壤的铵态氮增量 (FN)。结果表明 ,它们之间有极显著的正相关 ,在反映土壤微生物体氮上有相同趋势。两种培养方法测定的FN 近乎一致 ,由此而计算的微生物体氮也几乎相同。对红油土铵态氮法测定值仅为两种培养法的 1/ 10。把铵态氮法中的FN 校正后 ,其结果与 2种培养法测定的微生物体氮同样近乎一致。用 3种方法测定的微生物体氮均与土壤有机碳存在显著正相关性。淹水培养和铵态氮法水分条件易控制 ,又无NH3的挥发损失 ,比通气培养法更加优越。对培养试验和长期肥料定位试验的土样测定结果表明 ,土壤中易矿化新鲜有机物料也会使熏蒸 淹水培养法测定的FN 显著下降 ,由此而计算的微生物体氮也显著减少 ,但熏蒸 铵态氮法测定的FN 不受新鲜有机物质的影响。与土壤微生物数目进行比较后发现 ,土壤中含易分解有机物质少或微生物体氮含量低时 ,选用熏蒸 淹水培养法测定误差小 ;当土壤中富含新鲜有机物质时 ,熏蒸 铵态氮法测定的结果更加可靠。用这两种方法在同类土壤上测定的FN 的比值相对稳定 ,微生物体氮 (BN)的平均比值为 0.98～1.01,不受施肥的影响     

Phosphorus fractions and profile distribution in newly formed wetland soils along a salinity gradient in the Yellow River Delta in China

Soil P availability has been identified as one of the key factors controlling wetland productivity, structure, and function. Soil P fractions at different depths in newly formed wetlands along a salinity gradient in Yellow River Delta (China) were studied using a modified Hedley fraction method. The total P (P_t) content ranged from 471.1 to 694.9 mg kg^–1, and diluted HCl‐extractable inorganic P (Dil‐HCl‐P_i) ranged from 324 to 524.2 mg kg^–1. The Dil‐HCl‐P_i is the predominant P form in all profiles, with on average 70% of the P_t extracted as P_i. Organic P (P_o) comprised (4.2 ± 2.0)% (mean ± SD) of the P_t, due to low organic‐matter content in coastal salt marsh ecosystems. The labile P (resin‐P, NaHCO₃‐P_i, and NaHCO₃‐P_o) and moderately labile P (NaOH‐P_i and NaOH‐P_o) concentrations were both low, ranged from 11.6 to 38.1 and 2.8 to 21.3 mg kg^–1, respectively, constituting (3.7 ± 1.1)% and (2.0 ± 0.7)%, respectively, of P_t, suggesting low availability of P to plants in these soils. Our results suggested that vegetation cover significantly influenced soil P dynamics and availability. In particular, the labile P content under Tamarix chinensis increased significantly by 23.2%–145.5% compared with adjacent soils. These findings have important implications for wetland conservation or restoration and long‐term sustainable management of newly formed wetland ecosystems in the Yellow River Delta.     

不同农业土壤中有效磷的变化与磷平衡的关系

Maintaining soil phosphorus(P) at adequate levels for plant growth requires assessing how the long-term P balance(viz., the difference between P inputs and outputs) results in changes in soil test P. The hypothesis that routinely measured soil properties can help predict the conversion factor of P balance into Olsen P was tested at 39 sites in agricultural areas of the Mediterranean region in Spain. A set of soil samples from each site was analyzed for Olsen P, inorganic P(P extracted using 0.5 mol L~(-1) H_2SO_4), pseudototal P(P extracted using 0.5 mol L~(-1) H_2SO_4 following ignition at 550℃), and organic P(the difference between pseudototal P and inorganic P). Organic and Olsen P were uncorrelated in most of the 39 soil sets, which suggests that organic P content changed little with P inputs and outputs. The slopes of the regression lines of Olsen P against pseudototal and inorganic P, which were used as two different measures of the conversion factor, ranged widely(from 0.03 to 0.25 approximately), with their average values(about 0.10) being similar to those found in long-term experiments conducted in temperate areas. Neither conversion factor was significantly correlated with any routinely measured soil property; however, the conversion factor for inorganic P was significantly lower for calcareous soils than for noncalcareous soils. Our negative results suggest the need to isolate the influence of soil properties from that of management systems and environmental factors relating to P dynamics in future studies.     

Biogeochemistry of aluminum in a forest catchment in the Czech Republic impacted by atmospheric inputs of strong acids

The Lysina catchment in the Czech Republic was studied to investigate the biogeochemical response of Al to high loadings of acidic deposition. The catchment supports Norway spruce plantations and is underlain by granite and podzolic soil. Atmospheric deposition to the site was characterized by high H⁺ and SO₄ ^2– fluxes in throughfall. The volume-weighted average concentration of total Al (Al_t) was 28 mol L^–1 in the O horizon soil solution. About 50% of Al_t in the O horizon was in the form of potentially-toxic inorganic monomeric Al (Al_i). In the E horizon, Al_t increased to 71 mol L^–1, and Al_i comprised 80% of Al_t. The concentration of Al_t (120 mol L^–1) and the fraction of Al_i (85%) increased in the lower mineral soil due to increases in Al_i and decreases in organic monomeric Al (Al_o). Shallow ground water was less acidic and had lower Al_t concentration (29 mol L^–1). The volume-weighted average concentration of Al_t was extremely high in stream water (60 mol L^–1) with Al_i accounting for about 60% of Al_t. The major species of Al_i in stream water were fluorocomplexes (Al-F) and aquo Al³⁺. Soil solutions in the root zone were undersaturated with respect to all Al-bearing mineral phases. However, stream water exhibited Al_i concentrations close to solubility with jurbanite. Acidic waters and elevated Al concentrations reflected the limited supply of basic cations on the soil exchange complex and slow weathering, which was unable to neutralize atmospheric inputs of strong acids.     

Microbial C,N, and P relationships in moisture‐stressed soils of Potohar,Pakistan

In 11 rain‐fed arable soils of the Potohar plateau, Pakistan, the amounts of microbial‐biomass C (C_mic), biomass N (N_mic), and biomass P (P_mic) were analyzed in relation to the element‐specific total storage compartment, i.e., soil C_org, N_t, and P_t. The effects of climatic conditions and soil physico‐chemical properties on these relationships were highlighted with special respect to crop yield levels. Average contents of soil C_org, N_t, and P_t were 3.9, 0.32, and 0.61 mg (g soil)^–1, respectively. Less than 1% of P_t was extractable with 0.5 M NaHCO₃. Mean contents of C_mic, N_mic, and P_mic were 118.4, 12.0, and 3.9 µg (g soil)^–1. Values of C_mic, N_mic, P_mic, soil C_org, and N_t were all highly significantly interrelated. The mean crop yield level was closely connected with all soil organic matter– and microbial biomass–related properties, but showed also some influence by the amount of precipitation from September to June. Also the fraction of NaHCO₃‐extractable P was closely related to soil organic matter, soil microbial biomass, and crop yield level. This reveals the overwhelming importance of biological processes for P turnover in alkaline soils.     

动力学模型在土壤钾素释放特征描述中的运用及其与化学方法提取的钾素之间的相关性研究

Potassium (K) release characteristics in soil play a significant role in supplying available K. Information on K-release characteristics in soils of central Iran is limited. The objectives of this study were to determine K release characteristics and correlations of K release rate constants with K extracted by different chemical methods in surface soils of ten calcareous soils of central Iran. The kinetics of K release in the soils was determined by successive extraction with 0.01 mol L^-1 CaCl₂ in a period of 2--2 017 h at 25±1 ^oC. Soil K was extracted by distilled water, 0.5 mol L-1 MgNO₃, 0.002 mol L^-1 SrCl₂, 0.1 mol L^-1 BaCl₂, 0.01 mol L^-1 CaCl₂, 1 mol L^-1 NaCl, 1 mol L^-1 boiling HNO₃, 1 mol L^-1 NH₄OAC, Mehlich 1, 0.002 mol L^-1 SrCl₂ 0.05 mol L^-1 citric acid, and ammonium bicarbonate-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (AB-DTPA). A plot of cumulative amounts of K released showed a discontinuity in slope at 168 h. Thus, two equations were applied to two segments of the total reaction time (2--168 and 168--2017 h). Cumulative amounts of K released ranged from 55 to 299 mg kg^-1 in 2--168 h and from 44 to 119 mg kg^-1 in 168--2 017 h. Release kinetics of K in the two time segments conformed fairly well to parabolic diffusion, simplified Elovich, and power function models. There was a wide variation in the K release rate constants. Increasingly higher average concentrations of soil K were extracted by distilled water, Mehlich 1, SrCl₂, CaCl₂, SrCl₂ + citric acid, AB-DTPA, MgNO₃, NaCl, NH₄OAc, BaCl₂ and HNO₃. Potassium release rate constants were significantly correlated with K extracted. The results of this study showed that information obtained from mathematical modeling in two reaction time segments can help to estimate the K-supplying power of soils.     

Sequentially extracted phosphorus fractions in peat‐derived soils

Phosphorus (P) forms were sequentially extracted from peat derived soils (Eutric Histosols and Gleysols) at eight sites in Saxony‐Anhalt (Germany) to disclose general differences in P pools between mineral and organic soils and to investigate effects of peat humification and oxidation in conjunction with land use and soil management on the P status of soils. Overall 29 samples providing a wide variety of basic chemical properties were subjected to the Hedley fractionation. The Histosol topsoils contained more total P (P_t) (1345 ± 666 mg kg^—1) than the Gleysol topsoils (648 ± 237 mg kg^—1). The predominant extractable fractions were H₂SO₄‐P (36—63 % of P_t) in calcareous and NaOH‐P_o (0—46 % of P_t) in non‐calcareous Histosols. These soils had large pools of residual P (13—93 % of P_t). Larger contents and proportions of P_o and of labile P fractions generally distinguished organic from mineral soils. Regression analyses indicated that poorly crystalline pedogenic oxides and organic matter were binding partners for extractable and non‐extractable P. Intensive management that promotes peat humification and oxidation results in disproportional enrichments of labile P fractions (resin‐P, NaHCO₃‐P_i, and NaHCO₃‐P_o). These changes in P chemistry must be considered for a sustainable management of landscapes with Histosols and associated peat derived soils.
