The effects of flooding and drying on the availability of original soil phosphorus, phosphorus added before flooding and phosphorus added after drying were studied. In four soils high in organic carbon and reducible iron, 2 or more days of flooding (at 25�C) caused the immobilization of phosphorus added after drying. Four or more days of flooding caused immobilization of original soil phosphorus. Phosphorus applied before the flooding period was immobilized to a greater degree than phosphorus applied after drying in a soil rich in organic carbon and reducible iron. In a soil low in these, phosphorus applied before flooding was immobilized, but phosphorus applied after drying was not. Changes in soil extractable iron and phosphorus, and in phosphorus sorption index, caused by flooding and drying, were consistent with immobilization of phosphorus added after flooding by a surface reaction, and the immobilization of phosphorus present during flooding by occlusion of phosphorus with iron(III) hydrous oxide, or by formation of iron(III) phosphate.

In a field study on four sites, soil acidity, root rot (Phytophthora clandestina), and soil phosphorus were identified as causes of 'subterranean clover decline'. Liming increased herbage and seed production at four sites, with a tendency for lime to increase herbage yields in autumn (22%) and winter (15%) but not in spring. The presence of ryegrass with clover increased total herbage yields, and reduced clover seed production, but there was no interaction with liming. Losses caused by root rot associated with P. clandestina were quantified for the first time in New South Wales. Root rot reduced survival of seedlings as well as herbage production in autumn and/or winter at three of the four sites. In the presence of the disease, lime did not improve root health or seedling survival. On two sites with high aluminium saturation of exchangeable cations (> 17%) and high phosphorus sorption index values, subterranean clover growth responded to high levels of P fertilizer. On one site, where lime increased the soil pH to above 5.5, the P sorption index was temporarily increased, and this was associated with a temporary adverse effect on herbage yields. Some possible mechanisms underlying the seasonality of lime responses are proposed and the practical implications of our findings are discussed.

Phosphorus sorption capacity of the surficial sediments are estimated by the phosphorus sorption index (PSI) and the degree of phosphorus saturation (DPS) of the sediments in the Dongping Lake, China. In addition, the risk of potential phosphorus release was also analyzed. The results showed that PSI gradually increased from the middle and the east of the lake to the north and the south, which was fan-shaped. However, the variation tendency of DPS was contray to this of PSI. PSI was very significantly and positively correlated to iron (FeOX) extracted from sediment by ammonium oxalate. DPS was significantly and positively correlated to phosphorus (POX) extracted from sediment by ammonium oxalate. Additionally, the analysis of the phosphorus release risk index (RRI) indicated that the Dongping Lake might be in high potential eutrophication risk due to the release of phosphorus from the surfacial sediments.
