Understanding of soil phosphorus (P) transformation is crucial to minimize its edge-of-field loss associated with ecosystem disservices. A sequential chemical extraction procedure was used to assess the impact (42 years) of organic and chemical fertilizations on soil P partition and distribution under subtropical rice based cropping systems. Experimental treatments were control, N, NP, NK, NS, NZn, NPK, NSZn, NPKSZn, and N+FYM (farmyard manure). Composite soils were collected from 0–5, 20–25 and 40–45 cm depths, extracted, and analyzed for soluble P, NaHCO3-P (inorganic and organic), NaOH-P (inorganic and organic), acid soluble (H2SO4), and residual P fractions. The NPKSZn significantly increased the concentration of soil inorganic P compared to other treatments. When FYM was applied together with N fertilizer, the organic P concentration increased, which was statistically identical to NPKSZn and NPK treatments. While the labile (NaHCO3-Pi, NaOH-Po), residual, and total P concentrations were stratified at 0–5 cm depth, the concentration of NaHCO3-Po, NaOH-Pi, and acidic P fractions increased with soil depth. The soluble, NaHCO3 (Pi and Po), NaOH-Pi and NaOH-Po, acidic, and residual P fractions constituted about 0.4, 6.6, 1.7, 21.3, 37.7, and 8.3%, respectively, of the total P. A higher concentration of the labile P at the surface soil indicated that the impact of chemical fertilization stratified the available P for plant uptake or susceptible to edge-of-field loss. The NPKSZn and N+FYM both had higher NaHCO3-Po and NaOH-Po concentrations within 40–45 cm and 0–25 cm depths, suggesting that N+FYM could promote the transformation of non-labile P into labile P pool, by reducing P fixation by soil and transport them at 20–45 cm depth. It is concluded that long-term fertilization increased the concentration of P pools especially labile P by saturating the soil adsorption sites especially in surface soil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
