Abstract
Abstract In 54 Greek forest soils phosphorus adsorption characteristics and their relation to certain soil properties were studied. Values of Langmuir maximum ranged from 261 to 973 μg P/g soil (mean 494) and were significantly correlated to % clay and % organic matter content. Between 24 and 75% of the adsorbed P could subsequently be extracted with Olsen P extractant (0.5M NaHCO3) and was significantly (negatively) correlated to % clay and free iron oxides content. No significant relationship was found between P retention capacities of these soils and either nature of soil parent material or FAO‐Unesco soil units.
