Description/Abstract | Though many soil components are involved in reactions whereby soluble fertilizer P is converted to less soluble and therefore less available forms, the relative influence of each phase in this process is not clearly defined.^While both crystalline and amorphous Fe oxides readily react with P in noncalcareous soils, the contribution of these forms to P sorption in calcareous soils has received little attention.^Thus, in this study, samples of 20 mainly calcareous Lebanese soils, ranging widely in relevant properties, were equilibrated for 6 d with 25 mL P solutions ranging from 12.5 to 62.5 mg kg . The data did not conform to the conventional Langmuir isotherm.^Correlations and regression coefficients with actual P retention from solution indicated an involvement of oxalate Fe, but there was no effect of CaCO3 particle size.^Removal of Fe prior to equilibration had an inconsistent effect on P retention.^The P behavior of calcareous soils may be modified by Fe oxides in such soils.^7 references, 2 tables. |
