Soil Phosphorus Storage Capacity (SPSC) for Phosphorus Risk Assessment and Management series


Summary
This series is intended for use by soil scientists, environmental consultants, state agency personnel, Extension faculty, and others who are interested in management practices and policies that minimize the risk of phosphorus loss from soils.

Publications


An Indicator for Risk of Phosphorus Loss from Sandy Soils

Vimala D. Nair, Willie G. Harris, andDebolina Chakraborty

Sandy soils common in Florida have a low capacity to retain phosphorus (P), increasing the risk of P loss to water resources. This publication presents a practical indicator that combines soil test P with soil P retention properties to better assess the environmental risk of P loss. The indicator helps identify sites where P movement below the root zone is more likely and supports improved fertilizer management decisions. Its use promotes nutrient stewardship while maintaining crop productivity and protecting water quality.

The Long-Term Contribution of Phosphorus from Agricultural Lands to Lake Okeechobee

Vimala D. Nair, Myrlène Chrysostome, and Willie G. Harris

The purpose of this publication is to explain the role of soil in the long-term contribution of manure phosphorus (P) from agricultural lands to south Florida's Lake Okeechobee. It also addresses the applicability of a recently developed procedure to evaluate a soil's potential to negatively impact water quality through P release from the soil. Revision by Vimala D. Nair, Myrlène Chrysostome, and Willie G. Harris, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Soil and Water Sciences; 6 pp.

Parameters for Site-Specific Soil Phosphorus Loss Modeling from Soil Test Data

Biswanath Dari, Vimala D. Nair, and Willie G. Harris

Phosphorus Sources and Risk Potential: Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers

Vimala D. Nair and Willie G. Harris

A UF/IFAS numbered Fact Sheet for Academic and Policy Makers audience(s).

The Potential for Plants to Remove Phosphorus from the Spodic Horizon

Debolina Chakraborty, Vimala D. Nair, Willie G. Harris, and Roy D. Rhue

A UF/IFAS numbered Fact Sheet.

Understanding Soil Phosphorus Storage Capacity
