abstract = {Tree roots penetrate the soil to several meters depth, but
the role of subsoils for the supply of nutrient elements
such as phosphorus (P) to the trees is poorly understood.
Here, we tested the hypothesis that increased P deficiency
in the topsoil results in an increased microbial recycling
of P from the forest subsoil. We sampled soils from four
German temperate forest sites representing a gradient in
total P stocks. We analyzed the oxygen isotopic composition
of HCl-extractable phosphate (δ18OP) and identified
differences in P speciation with increasing soil depth using
X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy.
We further determined microbial oxygen demand with and
without nutrient supply at different soil depths to analyse
nutrient limitation of microbial growth and used nanoscale
secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) to visualize
spatial P gradients in the rhizosphere. We found that δ18OP
values in the topsoil of all sites were close to the
isotopic signal imparted by biological cycling when oxygen
isotopes in phosphate are exchanged by enzymatic activity.
However, with increasing soil depth and increasing HCl-P
concentrations, δ18Ο values continuously decreased towards
values expected for primary minerals in parent material at
depths below 60 cm at sites with high subsoil P stocks and
below more than 2 m at sites with low subsoil P stocks,
respectively. For these depths, XANES spectra also indicated
the presence of apatite. NanoSIMS images showed an
enrichment of P in the rhizosphere in the topsoil of a site
with high P stocks, while this P enrichment was absent at a
site with low P stocks and in both subsoils. Addition of C,
N and P alone or in combination revealed that microbial
activity in subsoils of sites with low P stocks was mostly P
limited, whereas sites with high P stocks indicated N
limitation or N and P co-limitation. We conclude that
subsoil P resources are recycled by trees and soil
microorganisms. With continued weathering of the bedrock and
mobilisation of P from the weathered rocks, P cycling will
proceed to greater depths, especially at sites characterised
by P limitation.},
