Struvite is a promising P source, but its potential role as a fertilizer is dependent on different physical, chemical, and biological properties, which are very heterogeneous in soil, complicating the prediction of the best soil conditions for its application. Here, we evaluated the solubility of struvite in soil, its redistribution into P fractions, and its potential abiotic and biotic drivers in 62 globally distributed soils with contrasting properties through an incubation assay. We found that after 40 d, about 35% of struvite P was redistributed into soil fractions more accessible to plants and microbes. Phosphorus redistribution from struvite was driven by a complex suite of soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties as well as environmental factors that varied across soils. Soil texture played a critical role in determining the redistribution of P in struvite-amended soils in soluble(H2O extraction), labile(NaHCO3 extraction), and moderately labile(NaOH extraction) fractions.In addition, the soil solution cation concentration was one of the most important drivers of available struvite-derived P fractions. The great importance of texture and cations in determining struvite-derived P fractions in soil was contrasted with the relatively minor role of pH. At the microbial level, the number of bacterial operational taxonomic units(OTUs) from the unfertilized soils that correlated with struvite-derived P fractions was higher than that of fungi. The number of OTUs that correlated with the struvite-derived soluble P fraction was dominated by fungi, whereas the number of OTUs that correlated with the struvite-derived labile P fraction was dominated by bacteria. Overall, this study provided a predictive framework for the potential use of struvite as a P fertilizer in contrasting soils.展开更多

Many non\|symbiotic microorganisms in rhizosphere can enhance P solubility, but little is known about the magnitude of their phosphorus\|solubilizing ability (PSA) and the difference in phosphorus\|solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) among plant species. The number of phosphorus\|solubilizing microorganisms and their PSA in rhizosphere soils of 19 weed species in a citrus orchard on red soil at Changshan, Zhejiang, China, were investigated. Inorganic P (powdered phosphate rock, PR) and organic P (lecithin, OP) were respectively used as the sole P\|source to examine the PSA of isolated microbes. The PS actinomycetes community varied greatly among the different weed rhizospheres while the PS fungus community showed to be most stable to the weed rhizosphere. The highest number of PR\|PS and OP\|PS bacteria was found in rhizosphere soil of \%Mollugo pentaphyll\%, and the highest number of PR\|PS and OP\|PS actinomycetes was found in rhizosphere soil of \%Polygonum lapathifolium\%. The highest number of PR\|PS fungi was found in \%Erigeron annuus\% and \%Mollugo pentaphyll\% rhizosphere soil, and the highest number of OP\|PS fungi was found in rhizosphere soil of \%Mazus stachydifolius\%. \%Mazus stachydifolius\% showed the strongest PR\|PS ability (6340.75μg) while \%Eragrostis pilosa\% showed the strongest OP\|PS ability (1301.84μg). The PR\|PS ability and OP\|PS ability of \%Mollugo pentaphyll\% was 4432.87μg and 1122.05μg respectively. A significant correlation between the number of PR\|PSM and OP\|PSM was found. Significant correlation was only found between the PR\|PS fungi number and its PSA( r =0.75, P <0.05) and between the number of OP\|PS fungi and its PSA( r =0.87, P <0.01}). It indicated that plant species had significant influence on components of the non\|symbiotic PSM community and their activity in its rhizosphere soil. Fungi play a leading role in phosphorus solubilization in weed rhizopshere. It suggested that weed conservation could benefit soil microbe development in agroecosystems, especially in the initial stage of agroecosystem development because there is less organic carbon in bare soil. The results suggested that weed conservation could increase PSA of PSM.展开更多
