Investigation of Compound-Specific Organic-Inorganic Phosphorus Transformation Using Stable Isotope Ratios in Phosphate

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Applied Manure and Nutrient Chemistry for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment

Abstract

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important nutrients for all life forms irrespective of physiological uptake mechanism or metabolic pathway. Soils and sediments contain a variety of organic P compounds that may undergo active transformation into inorganic P and vice versa. Phosphate oxygen isotope ratios have increasingly been applied to better understand the physico-chemical and biological pathways of P cycling and its fate in agricultural and nonagricultural soils. For example, the fractionation factors during hydrolysis of structurally-similar organic P compounds studied thus far are often distinct. Therefore compound-specific isotopic composition could be a powerful tool for differentiating transformation of different P compounds, tracking their origin and fate, and ultimately to develop an integrated and quantitative understanding of P cycling in both extant and fossil ecosystems. This chapter reviews biochemical reaction mechanisms and the current state of knowledge on compound-specific isotopic effects during hydrolysis of organic P compounds. While this research is still in its infancy, a new paradigm has emerged and it is hoped that the future expansion of this research will allow development of a holistic approach to integrate transformation of organic and inorganic P over time and space in different ecosystems.
