Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the chemical nature of soil organic phosphorus (P) and its role in determining the dynamics, availability, and mobility of soil P in agroecosystems. It emphasizes recent advances, including the application of novel analytical techniques such as 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and isotope exchange and dilution, and the role of organic P in the transfer of soil P to watercourses in runoff. The transfer of P in drainage from agricultural soils to watercourses is a key component of the global P cycle, and has important implications for water quality, because the enrichment of receiving waters with P can contribute to eutrophication. It is clear that diffuse P pollution cannot be effectively managed without a comprehensive appreciation of the role of organic P. The determination of organic P in drainage waters is almost exclusively based on operationally defined procedures involving size separation and crude chemical speciation.
