Coverdesign:SPiPublisherServices Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all living organisms. In terrestrial eco- systems, P is often the most limiting nutrient. Due to human alteration of the P cycle,pollutionwithexcessPisprevalentinmanyaquaticecosystemsandcanalso affect biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems. Because economically mineable P depositsarefinite,abettermanagementofthePcycleismandatory.Thisrequires agoodunderstandingoftheprocessesofsoilPdynamics. SoilPoccurs ininorganicandorganicforms.FormsofPinthemineralphase, the physicochemical processes of sorption and desorption, and their effects on P cycling andavailability are well known and predictable. Organic P forms are less wellcharacterizedandthebiologicalprocesses(e.g.,mineralizationandimmobili- zation) affect P dynamics to varying and often unknown degrees. In addition, the interactionsofPdynamicswithcarbonandnitrogenarenotwellunderstood. ThechemicalcharacterizationoforganicPanditsdynamicsinterrestrialaswell asaquaticenvironmentshavebeenreviewedinabookquiterecently(Turneretal. 2005).Oneconclusionfromthisbookwasthatinformationonthemechanismsand ratesoforganicPtransformationsisurgentlyneededinordertobettermanagesoil organic P. Given the great amount of information included in this “Organic P Bible”,wehesitatedwhenwewereaskedbytheserieseditorAjitVarmatopublish a book on P in the Springer Series on Soil Biology. However, we realized that significantprogresshasbeenmadeinthelast5years,andthatitwasindeedtimely tocollecttheexistinginformationonthebiologicalprocessesinsoilPcyclingand present the state of the art. Measuring the rates of any reaction in soil is a step towardsunderstandingthe“action”,andthereforewedecidedthatourbookshould focuson‘phosphorusinaction’. We planned three sections: one on methods, one on processes, and one on ecosystems and management. We asked the authors to present case studies rather than a complete review of the topic, wherever appropriate. We also asked the authorstoconsidertwoaspectsinparticular:(1)thattheroleofbiologicalprocesses insoilPcyclinghastobeexaminedagainsttheavailabilityofinorganicPresulting fromphysicochemicalprocessesand(2)thatinteractionsbetweencarbon,nitrogen, v vi Preface and P have to be examined to fully understand similarities and differences of P cyclingtothecyclingoftheotherelements.Lastly,authorswereaskedtopointout gapsinmethodsandunderstanding. We are extremely grateful to all authors for contributing such an impressive numberofhighqualitychapters.Somechapterswerewrittenbyscientistswhohave beenworkingtogetherbefore.Inotherchapters,authorspublishedtogetherforthe firsttimeandfoundtheexchangeofideasduringthepreparationstimulating.Some chapters present the state-of-the-art of topics that have been reviewed previously. Other topics have never been summarized before and the authors thus compiled trulyoriginalchapters. As a teaser for the book, we would like to point out some of its highlights (Table1).Toourminds,thistableisanattempttoassesstheprogressthathasbeen made in the field, but of course you will find much more in-depth and significant informationwithineachchapter.Attheendofthebook,wehavetriedtodrawsome generalconclusionsandtosummarizethemainresearchneeds.
