Knowledge about different phosphorus pools in the soil and their relationship with different soil properties is of immense significance for increasing phosphorus use-efficiency in agricultural systems. Fifteen soil series from the relevant agricultural fields were analyzed for their phosphorus pools. The average size of different P pools (% of total P) in the soils was in order of, dHCl-P (63.7%) greater than cHCl-Pi (14.8%) greater than residual P (9.4%) greater than cHCl-Po (3.8%) greater than NaHCO3-Pi (2.4%) greater than NaOH-Pi (2.0%) greater than NaHCO3-Po (1.4%) greater than resin-P (1.3%) greater than NaOH-Po (1.2%). Overall, the inorganic P pools comprised of 93.6% of total P in the soils and had highly significant positive correlation with soil pH and CaCO3 content. The organic P constituted a small proportion (6.4%) of the total P and was positively correlated with the clay and organic C contents of the soils. The data indicated that organic P pool represents an important source of P in subtropical alkaline soil ecosystems.
