Abstract:
      Phosphorus(P) is one of the greatest demanded nutrients for crop growth, but unreasonable land use and management are major factors causing non-point source P pollution. This paper examined accumulation and sorption characteristics and potential loss risk of surface soil P under seven land-use types in the Fenjiang River watershed, using field investigation, laboratory analysis, and mathematical statistics. The seven land-use types include farmland(FL), orchard land(OL), tea plantation land(TP), artificial forest land(AF), natural forest land(NL), forage grass land(FG), and weeds land(WL). The content of soil total P in AF, FG and FL were greater than 1.0 g·kg-1, showing an accumulation trend. In FG and FL, soil Olsen-P content was equal to or higher than 40.0 mg·kg-1, exceeding the critical value of P loss. The content of soil CaCl2-P was higher than 4.5 mg·kg-1 in AF, FG and FL, exceeding the critical value of P loss as well. TP soil had a stronger P sorption and fixation, whereas FL, OL, AF, and FG had a weaker P sorption and fixation, especially AF. The present results show that AL, FL and FG have higher potential risk of P runoff loss and leaching, while OL, WL and NL have a relatively lower risk of P loss. TP soil has almost no P loss risk.
