Abstract | Taxonomic and geographic distributions of background P concentrations are important in assessing whether a soil P level is influenced by anthropogenic activities. This study was conducted to establish an upper baseline concentration (UBC) of soil P, which is defined as 97.5% of the background concentration, using 448 geographically and pedogenically representative Florida surface soils (genetic horizon A, A1, Ap, O, O1 or Op) using total P as determined by the USEPA Method 3052 (HCl-HNO3-HF digestion). A significant difference existed in total P concentrations between disturbed (126 mg kg(-1), n = 180) and undisturbed (60 mg kg(-1), n = 268) soils. Geometric mean (GM) concentration of total P in the undisturbed soils decreased in the order of Histosols (350 mg kg(-1)) > Mollisols (171 mg kg(-1)), Inceptisols (140 mg kg(-1)) > Ultisols (88 mg kg(-1)) > Alfisols (54 mg kg(-1)), Entisols (53 mg kg(-1)) > Spodosols (24 mg kg(-1)). Aquic suborders tended to have greater P contents than the dry suborders, e.g., Aquents (92 mg kg(-1)) > Psamments (47 mg kg(-1)) and Aquods (27 mg kg(-1)) > Orthods (14 mg kg(-1)). Total P estimation based on digitized taxonomic soil maps suggested that native soil properties were primary factors in controlling total P in soils. The wide occurrence of P bearing parent materials resulted in many soils having high P concentrations. Twenty-four P-elevated samples from the disturbed soils were identified using the UBC of P for the undisturbed soils at suborder level as reference criterion. Anthropogenic P inputs were related to commercial PO4-fertilizer application and population growth as nonpoint sources. |
