Soil Olsen-P contents increased by 3.7, 5.2, 11.2 and 20.6 mg P kg-1 after 21-year annual fertilizer P application at 20, 39, 59, and 79 kg P ha-1, respectively. Long-term fertilizer P addition also increased soil total P and inorganic P (Pi) contents significantly. The contents of inorganic P fractions were in the order of Ca10-P 〉 Cas-P 〉 Fe-P 〉 A1-P 〉 occluded P 〉 Ca2-P in the soil receiving annual fertilizer P application. Fertilizer P application increased Cas-P, A1-P and Ca2-P contents as well as their percentages relative to Pi. Pi application increased Fe-P and occluded P contents but nor their percentages. Soil Ca10- P content remained unchanged after fertilizer P application while its percentage relative to Pi declined with increasing fertilizer P rate. All Pi fractions but Ca10-P were correlated with Olsen-P significantly. 90% of variations in Olsen-P could be explained by Pi fractions, and the direct contribution of Cas-P was predominant. Long-term annual superphosphate application would facilitate the accumulation of soil Cas-P, and thus improve soil P availability.展开更多
