| description | To evaluate phosphorus (P) availability and the role of microorganisms in P dynamics in the barley rhizosphere, we constructed a rhizobox using two arable Andosols under different fertilization management regimens and cultivated barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> L. cv. Minorimugi) for 5 weeks. The phosphatase-labile pool of organic phosphorus (Po) was assessed using a phosphatase-addition approach in combination with chemical extraction of Po from soils. A considerable amount of inorganic P (Pi) in the NaHCO<sub>3</sub> fraction was taken up by barley roots in a soil with high Pi availability, whereas Po, primarily phytate-like P in the NaHCO<sub>3</sub> fraction, was hydrolyzed and then taken up by barley roots in a soil with low Pi availability. No significant utilization of either NaOH-Pi or NaOH-Po was observed for both soils during the 5-week cultivation. In the soil with low Pi availability, elevated acid phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase activities, and greater utilization of Po substrates by bacteria in the Biolog ECO plate, were observed in the rhizosphere when compared with those in the bulk soil. This suggested enhanced Po hydrolysis by increased phosphatase activities to meet the P demand, making the Po an important P source for barley in the soil. |
