The bioavailability for varied-size phosphorus (P)-binding colloids (Pcoll) especially from external P sources in soil terrestrial ecosystems remains unclear. This study evaluated the differential contribution of various-sized biogas slurry (BS)-derived colloids to plant available P uptake in the rhizosphere and the corresponding patterns of phosphatase response. Keeping the same content of total P input (15 mg kg-1), we applied different size-fractioned BS-derived colloids including nanosized colloids (NCs, 1-20 nm), fine-sized colloids (FCs, 20-220 nm), and medium-sized colloids (MCs, 220-450 nm) respectively to conduct a 45-day rice (Oryza sativa L.) rhizotron experiment. During the whole cultivation period, the dynamics of chemical characteristics and P fractions in each experimental rhizosphere soil solution were analyzed. The spatial and temporal dynamics examination of P-transforming enzymes (acid phosphatases) in the rice rhizosphere was visualized by a soil zymography technique after 5, 25, and 45 days of rice transplantation. The results indicated that the acid phosphatase activities and its hot spot areas were significantly 1) correlated with the relative bioavailability of colloidal P (RBAcoll), 2) increased with the colloid-free (truly dissolved P) and BS-derived NC addition, and 3) affected by the plant growth stage. With the nanosized BS colloid addition, the RBAcoll and plant biomass were respectively found to be the highest (64% and 1.22 g plant-1), in which the acid phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of organic Pcoll played an important role. All of the above suggested that nanosized BS-derived colloids are an effective alternative to conventional phosphorus fertilizer for promoting plant P uptake and P bioavailability.
