abstract = {Little is known about phosphorus (P) in biological soil
crusts (BSCs) and their role in biogeochemical P cycling.
The present study evaluated P in BSCs with an array of
methodological approaches including sequential P
fractionation, solution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy, synchrotron-based P K-edge X-ray absorption
near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, elemental mapping
(μ-XRF) combined with μ-XANES and P-lipid quantification.
BSCs (light algal crusts) were collected at seven sites
along a sediment weathering gradient in north-eastern
Germany (based on feldspar weathering indices) from
non-weathered dune sands at the Baltic Sea coast to more
strongly weathered Weichselian glacio-fluvial sands near
Berlin. The total P (Pt) concentrations of BSCs ranged from
93 to 389 mg kg−1 and were not significantly
correlated with the change in feldspar weathering index.
While concentrations of stable P (H2SO4-extractable)
strongly decreased, labile P
(resin- + NaHCO3-extractable P) in BSCs increased with
increasing sediment weathering. Based on 31P NMR spectra, 20
to $62\%$ of NaOH-EDTA extracted P was orthophosphate
monoesters and 0 to $9\%$ was diesters. For BSCs, P K-edge
XANES showed that Ca-P species decreased with increasing
weathering. Heterogeneity of the BSCs was exemplarily shown
at the micrometre scale by element mapping μ-XRF and
μ-XANES, using four 10 × 10 μm spots of a vertical
cross-section within a coastal dune BSC. While only the
P-lipid class phosphatidic acid (PA) increased with
increasing weathering, analyses of BSC phospholipid fatty
acids (PLFAs) revealed decreasing contributions of
Gram-positive bacteria with increasing coastal sediment
weathering but different taxa were independent of any
investigated P parameter. Proportions of lipid-P varied
between 0.02 and $0.1\%$ of Pt, indicating a constant share
of living biomass in BSCs along the gradient. In conclusion,
this multi-method study of P speciation in BSCs showed that
these communities play a key role in the biogeochemical P
cycle, especially by transforming stable P into labile,
easily bioavailable P.},
