KBS144:Phospohorus Balance in Long Term Agricultural Ecosystems
Phosphorus (P) budgets for cropping systems show whether there is a net surplus or deficit, which relates to the sustainability of production as well as the potential for P export, a major driver of eutrophication. We analyzed P inputs (fertilization and atmospheric deposition) and outputs (harvest and leaching losses) over seven years at the Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE)
