Effects of Phosphorus Accumulation in Soil with the Utilization Ages of the Vegetable Greenhouses in the Suburb of Shenyang

The accumulation of phosphorus in different utilization age (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 13-year) vegetable greenhouses soil with multi-point mixed samples was examined in Damintun Town of Shenyang. The results showed that the content of P of all samples was increased with the utilization ages of the vegetable greenhouses. For all the samples, the concentration of TP and Olsen-P in the 0-40 cm layer was higher than that in the 40-120 cm. Compared with other samples, the content of TP and Olsen-P of 13 years of vegetable greenhouse soil is the highest throughout the 0-120 cm. In the 0-20cm layer, the TP concentrations in 13-year vegetable greenhouse soil is 4 times higher than that in the open vegetable land, and the concentration of Olsen-P range from 23.87 mg kg(-1) in bare land soil to 102.13 mg kg(-1) in 13-year vegetable greenhouse soil. These results demonstrated that long-term continuous P input from chemical fertilizers and manure can cause P accumulation in soils and enrich in topsoil. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
