The results showed that the average pH values in the rhizosphere decreased by 0.06–1.37 compared with those in the non-rhizosphere. The alkaline phosphatase activities of the rhizosphere were significantly higher than those in the non-rhizosphere.The mean concentrations of aluminum(Al)-and iron(Fe)-bound P and Ca_2-P(CaHPO_4) in the rhizosphere of all plants were 5.4% to 87.7%, 49.2% to 214.2%, and 86.6% to 147.6% higher than those in the non-rhizosphere, respectively. Except for Ca_8-P(Ca_8H_2(PO_4)_6)and Ca_(10)-P(Ca_(10)(PO_4)_6(OH)_2) in the rhizosphere, all kinds of inorganic P forms were negatively correlated with pH. Significant correlation was also observed among the concentrations of dominant forms of inorganic P, C, and N and alkaline phosphatase activities in the rhizosphere. Among the studied species, I. pseudotinctoria showed the most significant effect on enhancing soil available P concentration. The stoichiometric ratios of C:P and N:P were apparently higher in the rhizosphere than the non-rhizosphere, whereas these ratios were far below the ratios commonly observed in Chinese soils.
