This study was conducted near Kunming City, Yunnan Province, Southwest China to investigate how soil phosphorus （P） sorption and desorption processes respond to land use changes and to relate P sorption and desorption parameters to soil properties. Soil samples （0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80 and 80-100 cm） were collected from five sites representing four land use types： rice-legume production in a two-crop, one-year rotation （Rice）, vegetable production in open fields （Vegetable）, recent （〈 3 years） conversion from open fields to plastic-film greenhouse vegetable and flower production at two sites （VFCS1 and VFCS2）, and longer-term （〉 10 years） plastic-film greenhouse vegetable and flower production （VFCL）. The changes in land use affected soil pH, electrical conductivity, available N and P and organic carbon content in topsoil and subsoil. In turn, these changes of soil properties influenced soil P sorption capacity. The P sorption maximum （Smax） was affected by land use types, soil sampling depth and their interactions （P 〈 0.0001）. For surface soil, Smax was in the order of Rice （1 380 mg kg-1） 〉 VFCL （1 154 mg kg-1） 〉 VFCS2 （897 mg kg-1） 〉 VFCS1 （845 mg kg-1） 〉 Vegetable （747 mg kg-1）. The lowest Sm^x generally occurred at the surface （except for Rice at 80-100 cm） and increased with depth. The amount of P desorbed during the 8 successive extractions was in the range 23%-44% of sorbed P, and was not affected by land use types or sampling depths. The decreases in Smax suggested that soil P sorption capacity decreased when rice-legume production converted to more intensive vegetation and flower production and caution should be exercised when applying P fertilizer to minimize potential leaching and runoff P loss to the environment.展开更多
