Summary
The nitrogen mineralisation response to phosphorus was examined in the presence or absence of plants in three grassland soils. Responses to phosphorus of 95% and 33% were recorded in two of the soils, but only in the presence of plants. The mineralisation response was proportional to the plant growth response to phosphorus. re]19761001
