| A thorough understanding of potential P release from the soil profile is needed for implementing successful P management options such as phytoremediation or evaluating the efficacy of raising or lowering the water-table as a means of reducing P loss from a site. A body of literature is emerging that indicates raising the water table in upland soils, as proposed for reducing water and P load, releases adsorbed P from the soil into drainage water. Thus, best management practices (BMPs) designed to reduce P loads from upland soils through water-table manipulation may actually result in the opposite effect. In the current study, a threshold PSR for Bh horizons identified by the SAS program was 0.08 when using Mehlich 1 P, Fe and Al for PSR calculations. This threshold was not impacted by the P source, dairy or beef manure. Therefore using a PSR value of 0.08 as the threshold for the spodic horizon, the soil P storage capacity (SPSC) can be calculated. The SPSC will be a tool for determining whether it would be advantageous to raise or lower the water table at a given site as the parameter would provide an absolute indication of P release from the spodic horizon. |
