Abstract The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) obliges Member States to improve the
quality of surface water and groundwater. The measures implemented to date have reduced …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops and is applied to agricultural soil to bring or
keep the soil at a certain target soil P status in view of an optimal crop yield. Environmental …

Phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural land continues to receive attention due to a
widespread lack of reduction in losses combined with a series of high profile P-induced …

Most soil tests for available phosphorus (P) perform rather poorly in predicting crop
response. This study was set up to compare different established soil tests in their capacity …

Agricultural management strives to optimize phosphorus (P) nutrition of plants with minimal
environmental impacts. Although most research on soil phosphorus has applied macroscale …

Long‐term application of phosphorus (P) with animal manure in amounts exceeding
removal with crops leads to buildup of P in soil and to increasing risk of P loss to surface …

Objective The objective of this study is to quantify the potential risk of P leaching to
groundwater in characteristic soil types in The Netherlands. In areas with shallow …

Phosphorus (P) in natural waters may be bound to iron (Fe) bearing colloids. However, the
natural variation in composition and P binding strength of these colloids remain unclear. We …

Phosphorus (P) immobilization has potential for reducing diffuse P losses from legacy P
soils to surface waters and for regenerating low-nutrient ecosystems with a high plant …

Phosphorous (P) is a limited and non-substitutable resource. Sewage sludge contains
significant amounts of P and is therefore a widely applied fertilizer. Due to its organic and …
