Description
Phosphorus (P) utilisation efficiency in pasture soils is higher than in arable soils. Because there is a considerable amount of microbial biomass in the root mat layer, which is peculiar to permanent pasture, the microbial biomass P (MBP) contribution may be important in supplying soil P to pasture plants (Chen et al., 2000; He et al., 1997). In the present study, we investigated seasonal changes in MBP and other forms of P relative to total soil P in two pastures in which P uptake was estimated to be different.
