Enrichment of soil and its environmental impact
Main Article Content
Abstract
Phosphorus is one of the three primary macronutrients required for the growth of plants and animals. Its excessive application in agrosystems has generated soils enriched with P in many latitudes. The review's aim is to provide an abbreviated consideration of the meaning enriched with P and its environmental effects. When the balance between the applied P minus the exported is positive, the assimilable P increases. Therefore, an accumulation of P occurs over the years, producing the P-enrichment of soils. Phosphorus participates in the eutrophication of water bodies, which is exacerbated by P-enriched soils. In P-enriched soils, the pH increases, the content of organic matter decreases, the kaolinite is decomposed, nutrition is affected by antagonistic effects, and mycorrhizal function is inhibited.
