Abstract
Biochar has the ability to enhance the solubilization of phosphorus (P) in soil. Nonetheless, the role played by organic acid and microorganism in P solubilization under biochar application conditions remains unclear. In this study, we examined the relationship between soil organic acids and microorganisms, as well as P fractions, following the addition of biochar, utilizing foxtail millet, maize, soybean, and mung bean as materials. The results demonstrated that the addition of biochar increased the availability of P by increasing the content of the resin-P fraction and decreasing the content of the NaOH-Pi, NaOH-Po, and HCl-P fractions in the soil. In addition, resin-P fractions were elevated by 142.78%, 95.27%, 35.99%, and 21.55% in the soils of foxtail millet, maize, soybean, as well as mung bean, respectively. In the microorganisms, the addition of biochar promotes P conversion by increasing the number of labile-P-associated microorganisms and decreasing the number of moderate-labile-P- and non-labile-P-associated microorganisms. In the organic acids, biochar expanded the biological pathways for the solubilization of moderate-labile-P through organic acids. This study illustrates the potential mechanism of biochar to enhance soil P availability.
