“…Our results are similar with the findings of Raun et al (1998) and with the study of Halvorson et al (1999), who demonstrated a rise in C org with the applied increasing N ratios. Messiga et al (2013) noted a tendency of greater total carbon concentration with increasing N application. Liu et al (2005) reported that C org in the surface soil (0-15 cm) layer was 7.7 % higher in mineral fertilizer treatment than without fertilizer application.…”

Abstract. Essential and non-essential metals occur in soils as a result of weathering, industrial processes, fertilization, and atmospheric deposition. Badly adapted cultivation of agricultural soils (declining pH value, application of unsuitable fertilizers) can enhance the mobility of metals and thereby increase their concentrations in agricultural products. As the enrichment of metals in soils occurs over long time periods, monitoring of the long-term impact of fertilization is necessary to assess metal accumulation in agricultural soils. The main objective of this study was to test the effects of different mineral fertilizer variations on soil properties (pH, C org , and cation exchange capacity (CEC)) and pseudo-total and mobile metal contents of soils after 14 years of fertilizer application and to determine residual effects of the fertilization 8 years after cessation of fertilizer treatment. Soil samples were taken from a field experiment which was carried out at four different locations (210, 260, 360, and 620 m above sea level) in Hesse, Germany. During the study, a significant decrease in soil pH and an evident increase in soil carbon content and cation exchange capacity with fertilization were determined. The CEC of the soils was closely related to their organic C contents. Moreover, pseudo-and mobile metal (Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn) contents in the soils increased due to application of 14 years of mineral fertilizer treatments (N, P, NP, and NPK) when compared to control plots. Eight years after termination of the fertilization in the soil samples taken from soil profiles of the fertilized plots (NPK) for monitoring the residual effects of the fertilizer application, a decrease of 82.6, 54.2, 48.5, 74.4, and 56.9 % in pseudo-total Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn contents, respectively, was determined.

“…7a and b). The higher soil phosphorus stocks in the CPS could be explained by the addition of phosphorus fertilizer to the fields (Aguiar et al 2013;Messiga et al, 2013;Costa et al, 2014). Generally, an increase in soil phosphorus is observed after use of P fertilizers in the topsoil due to the low mobility of phosphorus, especially in no-till systems (Costa et al, 2007;Pavinatto et al, 2009;Messiga et al, 2010).…”

“…This P adsorption, as well as the fact that phosphorus does not have a gaseous phase like nitrogen, renders phosphorus less mobile in the soil-plant-atmosphere system than nitrogen (Walker and Syers, 1976). One consequence of this lower phosphorus mobility throughout the soil profile is that when P fertilizers are applied, they tend to increase soil phosphorus concentration on the soil surface, but they also make phosphorus available by loss through the soil erosion process and surface runoff (Messiga et al, 2013). The use of agricultural practices like no-till may further increases phosphorus concentration in the surface soil due to the non-movement of the soil layer (Pavinatto et al, 2009;Messiga et al, 2010Messiga et al, , 2013.…”

Soil phosphorus is also affected by physical characteristics of the soil, such as how the size of soil aggregates influences the extent of soil phosphorus availability to plants (Fonte et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. In this paper, soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and stocks were investigated in agricultural and natural areas in 17 plot-level paired sites and in a regional survey encompassing more than 100 pasture soils In the paired sites, elemental soil concentrations and stocks were determined in native vegetation (forests and savannas), pastures and crop-livestock systems (CPSs). Nutrient stocks were calculated for the soil depth intervals 0-10, 0-30, and 0-60 cm for the paired sites and 0-10, and 0-30 cm for the pasture regional survey by sum stocks obtained in each sampling intervals (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-60 cm). Overall, there were significant differences in soil element concentrations and ratios between different land uses, especially in the surface soil layers. Carbon and nitrogen contents were lower, while phosphorus contents were higher in the pasture and CPS soils than in native vegetation soils. Additionally, soil stoichiometry has changed with changes in land use. The soil C : N ratio was lower in the native vegetation than in the pasture and CPS soils, and the carbon and nitrogen to available phosphorus ratio (P ME ) decreased from the native vegetation to the pasture to the CPS soils. In the plotlevel paired sites, the soil nitrogen stocks were lower in all depth intervals in pasture and in the CPS soils when compared with the native vegetation soils. On the other hand, the soil phosphorus stocks were higher in all depth intervals in agricultural soils when compared with the native vegetation soils. For the regional pasture survey, soil nitrogen and phosphorus stocks were lower in all soil intervals in pasture soils than in native vegetation soils. The nitrogen loss with cultivation observed here is in line with other studies and it seems to be a combination of decreasing organic matter inputs, in cases where crops replaced native forests, with an increase in soil organic matter decomposition that leads to a decrease in the long run. The main cause of the increase in soil phosphorus stocks in the CPS and pastures of the plot-level paired site seems to be linked to phosphorus fertilization by mineral and organics fertilizers. The findings of this paper illustrate that land-use changes that are currently common in Brazil alter soil concentrations, stocks and elemental ratios of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. These changes could have an impact on the subsequent vegetation, decreasing soil carbon and increasing nitrogen limitation but alleviating soil phosphorus deficiency.

“…After 8 yr of P fertilizer management in an eastern Canadian grassland, soil test P (water or Mehlich-3 extraction) and total P (TP) significantly increased with increasing P applications (Messiga et al 2014). This increase was greater in the 0-5 than 5-15 cm soil layers, likely due to the lack of mixing and the low mobility of P (Messiga et al 2012). Results from six longterm fertilized grassland sites in four countries (France, Switzerland, Canada, and Finland) have shown that soil test P determined according to the locally recommended method was closely related to the cumulative P budget (i.e., the difference between fertilizer P inputs and crop P exports; Messiga et al 2015).…”

Phosphorus (P) fertilization can increase grassland production, but will also alter P forms, changing their cycling and potential for loss in runoff. We assessed the effects of mineral P fertilization on soil P forms in timothy swards at two sites in Quebec, Canada. Soil samples (10 cm depth) were collected in autumn 2013 from replicate plots at Lévis on a Kamouraska clay and at Normandin on a Labarre clay loam, each having received three rates of triple superphosphate (0, 20, and 40 kg P ha −1 ) for 4 yr. These were analyzed for pH, total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP); Mehlich-3-extractable aluminium (AlM3), iron (FeM3), calcium (CaM3), and P (PM3); and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P-NMR) following sodium hydroxide-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (NaOH-EDTA) extraction. Phosphorus fertilization had no significant effects on soil TC, TN, AlM3, FeM3, CaM3, and pH, but significantly increased TP, NaOH-EDTA-extractable total P and total inorganic P, PM3, orthophosphate, and glucose 6-phosphate at both sites. In contrast, NaOH-EDTA-extractable total organic P, total orthophosphate diesters, and scyllo-inositol hexaphosphate decreased with P fertilization. Phosphorus fertilization over 4 yr increased soluble inorganic P and decreased organic P at both grassland sites.
