This study investigated the different forms and availability of P in soil profiles from temperate forests in southern Chile (two sites: Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Bl. and Nothofagus betuloides (Mirb.) Oerst.) and Flanders, Belgium (two sites: Pinus nigra Arnold and Betula pendula Roth). Soils were sampled according to genetic horizonation and analysed for organic matter, oxalate-extractable P, Al and Fe, total inorganic P and total organic P. Phosphorus availability was assessed using an isotopic exchange technique and anion exchange membranes. The total P content was higher for the Chilean andosols and remained relatively high in the whole soil profile (1413-187 mg P kg-1) whereas total P decreased sharply in the lower horizons of the Flemish podzols... |
