Phosphorus (P) is a finite resource which is essential for life. It
is a limiting nutrient in many ecosystems but also a pollutant
which can affect biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems and change
the ecology of water bodies. This book collects the latest
information on biological processes in soil P cycling, which to
date have remained much less understood than physico-chemical
processes. The methods section presents spectroscopic techniques
and the characterization of microbial P forms, as well as the use
of tracers, molecular approaches and modeling of soil-plant
systems. The section on processes deals with mycorrhizal symbioses,
microbial P solubilization, soil macrofauna, phosphatase enzymes
and rhizosphere processes. On the system level, P cycling is
examined for grasslands, arctic and alpine soils, forest
plantations, tropical forests, and dryland regions. Further, P
management with respect to animal production and cropping, and the
interactions between global change and P cycling, are treated.
