Abstract:
      Phosphorus(P)fertilizer is crucial for high crop yields. However, excessive P application and its low utilization efficiency can lead to the accumulation of P in the soil, exacerbating the depletion of P resources and the risk of water eutrophication. Therefore, studying the depletion characteristics of accumulated P in the soil can provide a theoretical basis for improving the efficient utilization of accumulated P in the soil and reducing environmental risks. This study employed corn as the experimental crop and cinnamon soil with initial Olsen-P contents of 17.23 mg·kg-1(T1), 40.20 mg·kg-1(T2), 108.62 mg·kg-1(T3), and 181.33 mg·kg-1(T4)as the tested soil. Through controlled pot experiments, we consecutively cultivated five cycles of corn to deplete the accumulated P content in the soil. We analyzed changes in soil Olsen-P content, P forms(determined using an improved Hedley method), soil physicochemical properties, and bacterial community structure during the process of P depletion. During the process of P depletion in cinnamon soil, the Olsen-P content showed an overall decreasing trend, with higher initial levels resulting in greater declines. In the context of the active P component, treatment T1 displayed a significant increase, whereas treatments T2, T3, and T4 showed substantial decreases. The moderate decreases in active P content, exhibiting a trend of initially decreasing and then increasing during depletion, were primarily influenced by Dil.HCl-Pi and NaOH -Po. The stable P content showed an increase, primarily ascribed to the increased levels of Conc. HCl-Pi and Residual-P. Notable correlations existed between the content of soil-Olsen-P, organic matter, and various P forms(NaHCO3-Pi, NaHCO3-Po, and NaOH-Pi). P depletion altered the structure and composition of bacterial communities, with the T4 treatment demonstrating the most significant effect. At the phylum level, the T4 treatment induced a significant decline in the relative abundance of Cyanobacteria throughout the depletion process. The relative abundance of Gemmatimonadota and other taxa exhibited a significant increase during the depletion process. At the genus level, there was a pronounced reduction in the relative abundance of Nocardioides, norank_f_AKYG1722 and Arthrobacter throughout the depletion process. The relative abundance of norank_f_67-14 and Ramlibacte exhibited a marked increase throughout the depletion process. Multiple bacterial genera, ranking among the top 40 in relative abundance, exhibited significant correlations with Olsen-P, active P, and organic matter content. Nocardioides and Arthrobacter genera demonstrated the potential to expedite the transformation of moderately active P into Olsen-P and active P. In the context of microbial ecology, genera such as Microvirga and Skermanella were likely to harness stable P reservoirs within the soil. The impact of cinnamon soil P depletion on soil P availability was elucidated, revealing a substantial reduction in inorganic P(NaHCO3-Pi)content within the active P fraction and organic P(NaOH-Po)in the moderately active P fraction. Concurrently, there was an observable elevation in the stable P content of the soil. Within the realm of soil P dynamics, the intricate process of P depletion resulted in a complex interplay among taxonomic entities. This included a symbiotic interaction between phyla such as Actinobacteria and Firmicutes and specific genera such as Nocardioides, Microvirga, and Skermanella. These interactions intricately shaped and modulated the availability of P in the soil matrix. This study provides a theoretical basis for the transformation of P forms and microbial regulation during the process of P depletion in cinnamon soil, offering support for the utilization of accumulated P in the soil.
