Abstract

Biogeochemical cycles are shaped by events that follow soil drying and rewetting. Here we show that the process of drying and rapidly rewetting soil increases the amount of water-soluble phosphorus present and that this is predominantly in organic form after having been released from the soil microbial biomass. This effect could not only significantly affect phosphorus pollution of waterbodies but might also corrupt results from analyses involving water extraction of dried soils.
