Field data about the effect of soil pH on phosphorus (P) cycling is limited. A promising tool to study P cycling under field conditions is the 18 O: 16 O ratio of phosphate (δ 18 O P ). In this study we investigate whether the δ 18 O P can be used to elucidate the effect of soil pH on P cycling in g...
