Research Objectives Apply P fractionation techniques to an analysis of soil P, Al, and Fe across a suite of acidic soils in forested watersheds to determine: – chemical distributions of P among fractions – metal controls on P availability Better understand influence of changing chemical climate (e.g. acidic deposition)

Conceptual Sampling Design Stream Channel 0.1m1m3m10m Eight additional sampling points equidistant from each other 20m xxxxx 13 Pedons per transect 26 Pedons per watershed

Watershed Characteristics Upper B-horizon pH CaCl 2 : 3.4 to 4.1 Upper B-horizon % C: 1.1 to 8.9 Dominant Vegetation: Red spruce, Norway spruce, American beech, European beech Soil Orders: Spodosols Inceptisols

B-horizon Controls on Forest Floor P

Conclusions 1.The results suggest that Al controls P accumulation, and that Al dynamics are an important control on the biological availability of P 2.Any process or perturbation affecting Al within the ecosystem could directly alter P dynamics
