PC – Biological and geochemical controls of Phosphate saturation on organic Carbon in agricultural soils KU Leuven
The mitigation of climate change calls for a better understanding and management of the carbon sequestration potential of soils. This project will explore and unravel the yet unkown relationship between long-term P fertilization, resulting soil P-saturation and the content, nature and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC). We postulate that an excess available P in soil substantially lowers SOC stocks in agricultural soils. Higher P ...
