摘要

Phosphate fertilization affects Eucalyptus growth and soil phosphorus (P) pools differently during the early years of stand growth. Because the effects observed at this stage may change throughout the rotation, we aimed to assess the impact of phosphates on soil organic (Po) and inorganic (Pi) P pools, growth, and also the nutrient stock of Eucalyptus stands throughout an eight-year rotation. We have evaluated single superphosphate (SSP) as a highly soluble source, rock phosphate (RP) as a low-solubility source, and a mixture of both (PM). Throughout the rotation, several samples were collected to quantify the soil P fractions, and inventories were used to assess tree growth. At the end of the rotation (∼ 8 years old), the aboveground biomass and nutrient content in the compartments were measured to determine the nutrient stocks in the trees. The RP treatment showed a ∼ 90% decrease in the moderately labile pool due to P-Ca solubilization. The SSP and control showed an increase in labile and moderately labile P pools throughout rotation, in which the Po had a contribution of 65% on average. At the end of the rotation, P fertilized treatments showed 6–24% more volume and biomass than control. Significant alterations in the soil P pools were observed throughout the rotation, exhibiting a strong correlation with the source of P applied. Phosphate fertilization resulted in greater tree growth, although greater productivity was observed in the control. This demonstrates the great adaptability of Eucalyptus when grown under suitable soil conditions with a high input of organic matter.
