Loess Plateau is important for maize production in China. Therefore, a good understanding of soil phosphorus (P) behavior in the Loess region is crucial for optimizing fertilization in its agriculture systems. To date, research on factors influencing P adsorption/desorption has mainly focused on fertilization. Widespread application of straw return and increasing soil fauna in agricultural croplands inevitably affect soil P behavior either directly or indirectly in this area. However, less attention has been focused on these effects and their interactions. Here, a field plot experiment was performed based on a completely randomized design to investigate the response of P adsorption-desorption characteristics to the presence/absence of earthworms and straw return. Treatments included: (1) control without earthworms and straw (E0S0); (2) treatment with only earthworms (E1S0); (3) treatment with only straw (E0S1); (4) treatment with both earthworms and straw. The Langmuir model was superior to the Freundlich model in interpreting the P adsorption data and allowed better evaluation of the maximum P adsorption values. The maximal P adsorption, P adsorption affinity constant, and maximum buffer capacity in the earthworm and straw treatments were 2.4-8.3%, 8.3-13.9%, and 2.2-26.3% lower than those in E0S0. The readily desorbable P, standard P requirement, and degree of P saturation increased by 15.6-44.3%, 13.1-23.1%, and 4.4-16.5%, respectively, in earthworm and straw treatments. Additionally, earthworm inoculation and straw return treatments significantly increased total soil P, Olsen P, soil organic carbon, free Fe2O3, and CaCO3 contents and specific surface area of the soil. Redundancy analysis showed that soil organic carbon explained most (14.7%) of the total variation in P adsorption and desorption. These results show that combining earthworm inoculation with straw return can effectively reduce soil P adsorption capacity, increase its P desorption capacity, and thus, increase its available P content. These results provide a scientific basis for improving the utilization efficiency of soil P. |
