Kodaolu B, Mohammed I, Wang Y, Zhang T, Audette Y, Longstaffe J. Assessment of phosphorus status in a calcareous soil receiving long-term application of chemical fertilizer and different forms of swine manures. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 2024; 53:112-122. [PMID: 37909247 DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
The continuous use of organic inputs in crop production calls for an improved understanding of how these inputs might alter soil phosphorus (P). This study assessed how the continuous application of different forms of swine manure influences the mechanism of P transformation and release potential. Soil samples were collected from a clay loam soil receiving no P or 100 kg P ha-1 applied as either chemical fertilizer (CHEM), swine liquid manure (SWL), composted swine manure (SWC), or solid swine manure (SWS) every other year for 16 years in a corn-soybean rotation. Available P increased in soils treated with the chemical and organic fertilizers. The greatest increase was found in the SWC and SWS and was closely related to a 1% increase in the organic C content, and 1.3- and 1.2-unit increase in the soil pH for SWC and SWS treatment, respectively. Nonlabile HCl-P form was also higher in SWC- and SWS-treated soils. Despite the similarities between SWS and SWC, SWS significantly had a lower maximum P sorption (Qmax ) and higher equilibrium P concentration at zero net sorption (EPCO) probably related to the higher organic NaOH-P. Similarly, higher organic NaOH-P together with lower cation exchange capacity, aluminum, and calcium explained the lower Qmax in SWL. This suggests that increase in organic NaOH-P forms limits the soil potential to retain P. Overall, the SWL treatment presents a unique effect on changes in soil property and P chemistry that warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Intensive livestock farming generates vast amounts of organic materials, which are an important source of nitrogen releases. These anthropogenic nitrogen releases contribute to multiple environmental problems, including eutrophication of water systems, contamination of drinking water sources, and greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrogen recovery and recycling are technically feasible, and there exists a number of processes for nitrogen recovery from livestock material in the form of different products. In this work, a multi-scale techno-economic assessment of techniques for nitrogen recovery and recycling is performed. The assessment includes a material flow analysis of each process, from material collection to final treatment, to determine nitrogen recovery efficiency, losses, and recovery cost, as well as an environmental cost-benefit analysis to compare the nitrogen recovery cost versus the economic losses derived from its uncontrolled release into the environment. The results show that transmembrane chemisorption process results in the lowest recovery cost, 3.4-10.4 USD per kilogram of nitrogen recovered in the range of studied processing scales. The recovery of nitrogen from livestock material through three technologies, i.e., transmembrane chemisorption, MAPHEX, and stripping in packed bed, reveales to be cost-effective. Since the economic losses due to the harmful effects of nitrogen into the environment are estimated at 32-35 USD per kilogram of nitrogen released, nitrogen recycling is an environmentally and economically beneficial approach to reduce nutrient pollution caused by livestock operations.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) species characterize the effectiveness of the P fertilizer. In this study, the P species and distribution in different manures (pig manure, dairy manure and chicken manure) and their digestate were systematically investigated through combined characterization methods of Hedley fractionation (H2OP, NaHCO3-P, NaOH-P, HCl-P, and Residual), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The results from Hedley fractionation showed that >80 % of P in the digestate was inorganic and the HCl-P content in manure increased significantly during anaerobic digestion (AD). XRD manifested that insoluble hydroxyapatite and struvite belonging to HCl-P were presented during AD, which was in agreement with the result of Hedley fractionation. 31P NMR spectral analysis revealed that some orthophosphate monoesters were hydrolyzed during AD, meanwhile the orthophosphate diester organic phosphorus like DNA and phospholipids content has increased. After characterizing P species by combining these methods, it was found that chemical sequential extraction could be an effective way to fully understand the P in livestock manure and digestate, with other methods used as auxiliary tool depending on the purpose of studies. Meanwhile, this study provided a basic knowledge of utilizing digestate as P fertilizer and minimizing the risk of P loss from livestock manure. Overall, applying digestates can minimize the risk of P loss from directly applied livestock manure while satisfying plant demands, and is an environmentally friendly P fertilizer.

Abstract
Human dire need for environmental sustainability have triggered researchers to seek for organic substrates as an alternative to synthetic fertilizers in order to enhance bioremediation. Presently, nitrogen-rich organic substrate not only proffered the solution but also have proven useful in enhancing the rate of bioremediation. Animal manure is a nitrogen-rich organic substrate which has been found very effective for stimulating plant growth. Some of the animal manure used by researchers are poultry droppings, cow dung, goat manure, and pig manure. In all the papers reviewed, it was gathered that animal manure enhances bioremediation by providing nutrients favoring microbial growth and activities responsible hydrocarbon degradation. However, of the four commonly used animal manure, poultry droppings was severally reported to be a better biostimulant. Also, animal manure when sun-dried and pulverized yielded better results. It was observed that animal manure serves as substrates for earthworms which further accelerates the potential of the earthworms to remediate the soil. Also, the pollution of soil by crude oil causes a surge in its carbon content which may slow down microbial growth and activities. Thorough review of literatures, however, indicates that animal manure is capable of providing appropriate nutrient concentrations to offset such imbalance. Studies continue to lay credence to the efficacy of animal manure in enhancing microbial growth and activities responsible for the biodegradation of hydrocarbons contained in crude oil. Furthermore, the co-application of animal manure with other bioremediation strategies, such as phytoremediation and vermiremediation, should be combined for effective bioremediation of oil-contaminated environment.

Abstract
Productivity of an orchard generally depends upon the fertility of the soil and the nutrient requirements of the fruit trees. Phosphorus (P) extractability from soils influences the P sorption, release patterns, and P bioavailability. A study was carried out to investigate P extractability via seven extraction methods in relation to soil properties in three fruit orchards. In total, 10 soil samples were collected from each fruit orchard, namely, citrus (Citrus sinensis L.), loquat (Eriobotrya japonica L.), and guava (Psidium guajava L.), located in similar ecological conditions to the Haripur district of Pakistan. Available P in the soil was extracted using deionized H2O, CaCl2, Mehlich 1, Bray 1, Olsen, HCl, and DTPA methods. Selected soil properties [pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic matter (SOM)], texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), macronutrients, and micronutrients were also determined. Soils sampled from orchards indicated significant differences in soil properties. Orchards have sequestered more amount of C stock in soil than without an orchard. The extractability of P from soils was profoundly affected by P extraction methods. The average amount of extractable P was relatively higher in those soils where the total amount of P was also higher. These methods extracted different pools of soil P with varying P concentrations regulated by the soil properties. Phosphorus amounts extracted were varied in the order of HCl > DTPA > Mehlich 1 > Bray 1 > Olsen > CaCl2 > water. Among orchards, a higher amount of P was found in soils of loquat followed by citrus and guava orchards. Regardless of the method, subsurface soil got a lower concentration of extractable P than surface soil in all orchards. The extractable P was highly associated with soil properties. DTPA extractable P was related to SOM soil clay content and CEC by R2 values of 0.83, 0.87, and 0.78, respectively. Most of the extraction methods were positively correlated with each other. This study indicated that SOM inputs and turnover associated with orchard trees exhibited a substantial quantity of extractable P in soils. Predicting available P in relation to its bioavailability using these methods in contrasting soils is required.

Abstract
Animal manure can be a serious environmental concern if improperly managed, particularly with regard to phosphorus (P). A good understanding on manure P chemistry is required for improving manure management in an environmentally sustainable manner. In the study, 102 representative manure samples collected from farms of major intensive livestock areas of Canada were sequentially fractionated with H2O, 0.5 M NaHCO3, 0.1 M NaOH, and 1.0 M HCl, respectively, for measuring inorganic (Pi) and organic P (Po). Across the manures, total P (TP) ranged from 3.71 to 17.3 g kg-1, with total Pi and available P (i.e., the sum of H2O-Pi and NaHCO3-Pi) accounting for 67.0-92.4 % and 35.6-67.3 % of TP, respectively. Composting reduced the percentages of available P and Po in TP, and meanwhile increased the percentages of moderately stable HCl-Pi. Compared to other P fractions, manure available P increased more rapidly with increases in TP; once manure TP reached 7.8-9.6 g kg-1, further TP increase enhanced transformation to more recalcitrant P (i.e., NaOH-Pi and HCl-Pi). Under Canadian conditions, manure application to meet the demand of crops for N would lead to P buildup in the soil at rates of 6.1-41.6 kg P ha-1 yr-1, increasing runoff P loss risk. Manure compost and poultry manure tend to cause rapid P buildup in the soil after land application and become a long-term P source for runoff losses. The results help to develop scientifically-sound manure-specific P management technologies which would enable farmers to achieve sustainable crop production with improved environment.

Abstract
Manure amendments to agricultural soils is an excellent opportunity for sustainable utilization of agricultural waste while providing multiple benefits to improve soil quality and increase the availability of nutrients to plants, including phosphorus (P). In this study, a meta-analysis of published data from 411 independent observations based on 133 peer-reviewed papers was performed for an in depth understanding of various factors affecting the transformation of soil P pools with manure application. Manure application increased all soil inorganic P (Pi) by 58.0%-282% and organic P (Po) by 65.0%-105%, while decreasing Po/total P (TP), compared to those in unamended soils. Manure types, soil TP, and manure application rates were the important factors that influenced soil P fractions. Elevation of soil labile Pi was more pronounced with compost application, while poultry and pig manure were more beneficial for promoting soil Pi fractions and stable Po contents compared with other manure types. The manure application rate had pronounced effect on increasing the stable Po fractions. The effects of manure application on increasing soil P fractions were greater in soils with lower TP contents as compared to that in high TP soils. Manure effects on enhancing soil labile Pi and moderately labile Pi were greater in acidic soil than that in neutral and alkaline soils. In addition, soil P fractions showed significant correlation with latitude and mean annual precipitation (MAP). By integrating the impacts of manure types, soil properties, and climate, this meta-analysis would help to develop the management of manure application in a specific region of agriculture as well as promote the interpretation of the interfering factors on the soil P fractions changes in the manure-amended soils.

Conditioning of Feed Material Prior to Feeding: Approaches for a Sustainable Phosphorus Utilization. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
A circular phosphorus (P) bioeconomy is not only worthwhile for conserving limited mineral P reservoirs, but also for minimizing negative environmental impacts caused by human-made alterations. Although P is an essential nutrient, most of the P in concentrates based on cereals, legumes and oilseed byproducts is organically bound to phytate. The latter cannot be efficiently utilized by monogastric animals and is therefore diluted into the environment through the manure pathway. This review examines various strategies for improved P utilization in animals and reflects the respective limitations. The strategies considered include feeding of debranned feedstuffs, pre-germinated feed, co-feeding of phytase and feeding material with high native phytase activity. All these approaches contribute to an improved P bioavailability. However, about half of the organic P content continues to be excreted and therefore remains unused by the animals. Nevertheless, technologies for an efficient utilization of P from cereal-based feed already exist; however, these are not industrially established. Conditioning feed material prior to feeding fosters P-reduced feed; meanwhile, P bound to phytate can be recovered. Based on known techniques for P separation and solubilisation from cereal products and phytate conversion, potential designs for feed material conditioning processes are proposed and evaluated.

Abstract
There is a paucity of data on the state of urban agriculture soils. In order to develop efficient management practices, it is necessary to understand the seasonal dynamics of the soil health of these systems. This study sampled two community gardens, and one commercial urban agriculture site on a monthly basis over the span of one year. The dynamic analysis examined soil nutritional, chemical and microbial properties. Plant biodiversity was significantly higher in community gardens compared to commercial sites. Analysis of soil nutrients revealed fluctuations of mineral nitrogen with seasonal conditions and consistently high concentrations of plant-available phosphorus. We identified gradually decreasing soil total nitrogen and carbon concentrations throughout the year. Soils were abundant in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spores. Soil metabarcoding using 16S and ITS amplicons revealed a seasonal gradient of the microbial diversity and changes after the application of organic fertilizer. Soil-borne potential human pathogens were also detected in the soils. The results of this study provide relevant information about soil management principles in urban agriculture systems. These principles include mulching and the use of nutrient-balanced composts to counteract decreasing carbon pools and the excessive accumulation of phosphorus.

Abstract
With an increasing interest in closing the nutrient loop in agroecosystems, organic amendments are highly recommended as a reliable resource for soil nutrient recycling. However, from a carbon sequestration perspective, not much has been reported on the contribution of different organic amendments to soil organic carbon (SOC), crop carbon (C) uptake, and soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in wheat-maize cropping systems of sloppy upland soil. To fill the knowledge gap, a two-year lysimeter-field plots experiment was conducted in a sloppy upland purplish soil under wheat-maize cropping systems. The experiments were arranged in a complete random block design with five treatment plots, namely; fresh pig slurry as organic manure (OM), crop residues (CR), conventional mineral fertilizers (NPK) as the control, organic manure plus mineral fertilizers (OMNPK), and crop residues plus mineral fertilizers (CRNPK). Our results showed the leaf photosynthesis rate was not significantly increased by organic amendment application treatments compared to NPK treatment, and was within a range of 4.8 to 45.3 µmol m−2 s−1 for the wheat season and −20.1 to 40.4 µmol m−2 s−1 for the maize season across the five treatments and the measured growth stages. The soil CO2 emissions for the maize season (in the range of 203 to 362 g C m−2) were higher than for the wheat season (in the range of 118 to 252 g C m−2) on average across the different experimental treatments over the two-year experiment. The organic amendment application increased annual cumulative CO2 emissions from 30% to 51% compared to NPK treatment. Over the two years, the average crop C uptake ranged from 174 to 378 g C m−2 and from 287 to 488 g C m−2 for the wheat and maize seasons, respectively, and the organic amendment application increased the crop C uptake by 4% to 23% compared to NPK treatment. In the organic amendment treatments, the C balance ranged from −160 to 460 g C m−2 and from −301 to 334 g C m−2 for the wheat and the maize seasons, respectively, which were greater than those in the NPK treatment. Overall, the present study results suggest incorporation of organic amendments could be an effective strategy for increasing C sequestration and sustaining crop productivity in sloppy upland soil.

Abstract
Notwithstanding the widespread use of natural and pre-exchanged zeolites for zootechnical effluent treatment, little attention has been dedicated to the variation in the chemical composition of the treated slurries, besides the effects on their NH4+ content. This paper aimed at elucidating the compositional variations in terms of major and trace elements of a raw pig-slurry (PS) after three sequential treatment cycles (TC) with three different grain sizes of natural and Na-exchanged zeolite-rich volcanic tuffs (natural ZTs and NaZTs). A series of laboratory batch experiments revealed that all ZTs had profoundly influenced the final PS chemical composition. As expected, the NaZTs were more efficient in terms of NH4+ removal than the natural ZTs, reaching almost 60% reduction of the initial content after three TCs. A parallel effect of this efficient removal was the remarkable increase in Na+. The Na-forms of ZTs led also to stronger competition with K+ ions, resulting in adsorption of this macronutrient and hence in a reduction of the fertilization value of the PS. In terms of heavy metals and other trace elements, all the treatments with ZTs had significantly increased the Li, Ba, Rb, Sr, Ga, and U content in the PS.

Abstract
Treatment of antibiotic fermentative residue (AFR) produced from pharmaceutical industries and their application in the environment has been gaining researchers' interest. In this study, lincomycin residue (LMR, the type of AFR) was treated with microwave-assisted hydrothermal liquefaction (MW-HTL) in a temperature range 120-210 °C, transforming effect of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) functional groups in LMR samples was characterized with elemental analysis, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, and P-extraction, and utilized LMR samples for Pb2+ removal from aqueous solutions. The temperature had a significant impact on P and N functional groups conversion justified by characterization techniques and also responsible for Pb2+ adsorption. LMR hydrochar produced at 210 °C was accounted highest Pb2+ adsorption capacity (57.4 mg g-1), higher four folds than raw LMR (13.8 mg g-1). To understand the mechanism and rate defining phase of adsorption equilibrium isotherm and kinetic models were applied systematically. Adsorption results of LMR and its derived hydrochar samples found connectivity with Langmuir and pseudo-first-order isotherm models. Adsorption mainly occurred as ion-exchange dependent on the substitution of metal ions (Pb2+) to Ca2+ ions present in P-materials, and surface adsorption dependent on surface functional groups of LMR samples. Better operation feasibility of MW-HTL treated LMR, elaboration of P and N conversion behavior and high sorption of Pb2+ ions could make LMR a frontrunner for heavy metals immobilization.

Abstract
Recycled organic wastes (OW) can be a valuable P source; however, their P-fertilising capacity is still poorly known. In this study, we selected three anaerobic digestates [wastewater sludge (D1), winery sludge (D2), and bovine-slurry/energy crops (BD)] and two animal effluents [bovine slurry (BS) and swine slurry (SS)] to test their P-release and P-fertilising capacities via sequential chemical extraction (SCE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR). Subsequently, the three digestates (30 mg P kg-1 of soil) were compared for the release of Olsen-P during a soil incubation and for plant-P apparent recovery (ARF) in a pot experiment using ryegrass (112 days) in a soil with poorly available-P (Olsen-P < 5 mg kg-1), under a non-limiting N environment. The amount of labile-P (H2O + NaHCO3), as determined from SCE, related well to the Olsen-P following OW addition to the soil. It was shown via 31P NMR spectroscopy that orthophosphate was the leading P-form in highly P-releasing OW. The amount of labile-P, however, was affected by soil adsorption, thereby reducing plant-P uptake. The plant-P ARF (%) showed that the recycled P-sources were clustered in highly (BD and SS: ≈20%), intermediately (D1 and BS: ≈15%), and poorly performing OWs (D2: ≈10%) vs. chemical P-source (P-chem: 20%). Therefore, only BD and SS were effective alternatives to P-chem; however, the other OW can be efficient P-sources in soils with higher Olsen-P. Thus, crop fertilisation can be tailored on a P-basis by SCE as a function of soil adsorption capacity and on an N-basis according to the demand.

Changes in phosphorus fractions associated with soil chemical properties under long-term organic and inorganic fertilization in paddy soils of southern China. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0216881.

Abstract
The identification of phosphorus (P) fractions is essential for understanding the transformation and availability of P in paddy soils. To investigate the soil P fractions associated with soil properties under long-term fertilization, we selected three fertilization treatments, including no fertilization (CK), chemical fertilizers (NPK) and chemical fertilizers combined with manure (NPKM), from three long-term experiments located in Nanchang (NC), Jinxian (JX) and Ningxiang (NX). The results showed that chemical fertilizers combined with manure (NPKM) significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased the soil total phosphorus, Olsen P and soil organic matter (SOM) by 2, 3 and 1 times, respectively, compared with the NPK treatment, and by 4, 17 and 2 times, respectively, compared with the CK treatment. NPKM significantly increased the grain yield compared with CK and NPK at all sites. The apparent P balance with NPK was higher in NC and NX but lower in JX compared with NPKM. Hedley fractionation revealed the predominance of most of the organic and inorganic phosphorus (Po and Pi) fractions with long-term fertilization, especially with the NPKM treatment, at all sites. The nonlabile P pool decreased by 14% and 18% whereas the moderately labile P pool proportions increased by 3 and 6 times with the NPK and NPKM treatments, respectively, compared to the CK treatment. The labile P pool showed a significant positive relationship with the SOM, total P and Olsen P contents. The moderately labile P was positively correlated with the total P and Olsen P. A significant positive correlation was observed between soil pH and the nonlabile P pool. Redundancy analysis revealed that the moderately labile P fraction (HCl dil. Pi fraction) was remarkably increased by the NPKM treatment and significantly correlated with the soil pH and total P concentration. The labile P fraction (NaHCO3-Pi) showed a strong relationship with the Olsen P and total P. However, the residual P fraction was negatively correlated with the HCl. dil. Pi fraction. We concluded that NPKM application improved P availability by many folds compared to NPK, which could lead to environmental pollution; therefore, the rate of combined application of manure and chemical fertilizer should be reduced compared to chemical fertilizer inputs to minimize the wastage of resources and environmental P losses.

Abstract
Roxarsone (ROX), an organoarsenic feed additive, occurs as itself and its metabolites including As(V), As(III), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in animal manure. Animal manure improves soil biological property, whereas As compounds impact microorganisms. The integral influence of animal manure bearing ROX metabolites on soil biological quality is not clear yet. Herein, the effect of four chicken manures excreted by chickens fed with four diets containing 0, 40, 80 and 120 mg ROX kg-1, on soil biological attributes. ROX addition in chicken diets increased total As and ROX metabolites in manures, but decreased manure total N, ammonium and nitrate. The elevated ROX metabolites in manures increased soil total As, As species and total N, and increased first and then decreased soil nitrate and nitrite, but did not affect soil ammonium in manure-applied soils. The promoting role of both soil As(III) and ammonium on soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, respiration and saccharase activity, were exceeded or balanced by the inhibiting effect of soil nitrate. The suppression of soil catalase activity by soil As(V) was surpassed by the enhancement caused by soil nitrate and nitrite. Soil urease, acid phosphatase and polyphenol oxidase activities were not suitable bioindicators in the four manure-amended soils. Soil DMA did not affect soil biological properties, and MMA was not detectable in all manure-amended soils. The above highlights the complexity of joint influence of soil As and N on biological attributes. Totally, when ROX is used at allowable dose in chicken diet, soil biological quality would be suppressed in manure-amended soil.

Abstract
Pilea sinofasciata is a promising phytoextraction material to remove excess phosphorus (P) from manure-impacted soil. However, little information is available on its physiological response to animal manure treatments. Here, P accumulation, tissue P fractions and acid phosphatase activity were investigated in a mining ecotype (ME) and a non-mining ecotype (NME) of P. sinofasciata at different poultry manure (PM) treatments (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 g kg-1). Biomass and P accumulation of the ME increased up to 50 g kg-1, after which they significantly decreased; while P accumulation of the NME increased up to 100 g kg-1. But, shoot and root P accumulation of the ME were significantly higher than those of the NME at all PM treatments, showing 1.13-2.92 and 1.11-2.89 times higher values, respectively. Inorganic P and nucleic P dominated in tissues of both ecotypes. Besides, the ME maintained higher concentrations of inorganic P and ester P in leaves and ester P, nucleic P and residual P in roots than the NME. Acid phosphatase activity in leaves and roots increased by increasing PM treatments, except in root at 125 g kg-1. Acid phosphatase activity in leaves of the ME was positively correlated with concentrations of inorganic P, ester P and nucleic P, while that of the NME only correlated with inorganic P concentration. Probably, the optimized P fractions allocation and higher tissue acid phosphatase allow the ME to grow well and efficiently accumulate P in PM-impacted soil.

Abstract
Water-extractable P (WEP) in manure and manure compost is widely used as an indicator of P release to runoff from manure and compost that are land applied. A survey of 600 manures and composts was conducted to assess trends in WEP (dry weight equivalent) related to manure and compost types from sources in the Mid-Atlantic region. Manure and compost WEP ranged from 0.2 to 20.8 g kg. Mean WEP was highest in turkey and swine manures (manure: 4.1-5.6 g kg; no composts tested), followed by layer and broiler chicken manures (manure: 3.0-3.5 g kg; compost: 4.6-5.1 g kg), cattle manure (dairy and beef manure: 2.1-2.8 g kg; compost: 1.1-2.7 g kg), and horse manure (manure: 2.7 g kg; compost: 1.9 g kg). Across all manures and composts, WEP was negatively correlated with manure dry matter content ( = 0.42, < 0.001). Moreover, WEP was strongly correlated ( = 0.66, < 0.001) to degree of P saturation expressed as a molar ratio of total P to total metals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, and Mn). Although WEP levels of beef, broiler chicken, and turkey manures from this survey are similar to those from a decade ago, WEP is now significantly lower for dairy (30%, < 0.001), swine (46%, < 0.001), and layer chickens (39%, < 0.05). Lower WEP resulted from decreasing total P and/or increasing P sorption capacity, combined with increasing dry matter content. Results highlight the potential to use degree of P saturation to predict WEP and suggest an opportunity to reduce WEP by managing manure handling, storage, and chemistry.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) in animal manures is an important P pool for P recycling and reclamation. In recent years, thermochemical techniques have gained much interests for effective waste treatment and P recycling. This study comparatively characterized the transformation of P during two representative thermochemical treatments (pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization, HTC) of four animal manures (swine, chicken, beef, and dairy manures) by combining nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and sequential extraction. For both pyrolysis and HTC treatments, degradation of organic phosphate and crystallization of Ca phosphate minerals were observed and were highly dependent on treatment temperature. Extensive crystallization of Ca phosphate minerals occurred at temperatures above 450 °C during pyrolysis, compared to the lower temperature (175 and 225 °C) requirements during HTC. As a result, P was immobilized in the hydrochars and high temperature pyrochars, and was extracted primarily by HCl. Because Ca is the dominating P-complexing cation in all four manures, all manures showed similar P speciation and transformation behaviors during the treatments. Results from this work provided deeper insights into the thermochemical processes occurred during the pyrolysis and HTC treatments of biological wastes, as well as guidance for P reclamation and recycling from these wastes.

Abstract
Alum [KAl(SO)⋅12HO] is often added to chicken manure to limit P solubility after land application. This is generally ascribed to the formation of Al-PO complexes. However, Al-PO complex formation could be affected by the matrix of chicken manure, which varies with animal diet. Alum was added to KHPO (as a reference material) and two manures from typical chicken farms in China, one from an intensive farm (CMIF) and another from free-ranging chickens (CMFR). These were subsequently incubated with soils for 100 d to investigate P transformations. Alum reduced water-soluble colorimetrically reactive phosphorus (RP) from soils amended with manure more effectively than in soils amended with KHPO. Alum addition lowered Mehlich-3 RP in soils with CMFR but had no influence on Mehlich-3 RP in CMIF- or KHPO-amended soils. A comparison of P in digested Mehlich-3 extracts with RP in undigested samples showed significantly increased P in digests of alum-treated CMFR only. Fractionation data indicated that alum treatment increased P in the NHF-RP (Al-P) fraction only in soils with KHPO, but not in soils with manure treatments. Furthermore, NaOH-extracted nonreactive P was markedly higher in soil with alum-treated CMFR relative to normal CMFR. The CMFR manure was assumed to contain higher concentrations of organic P because these chickens were fed grains only. These results suggest that the formation of alum-organic P complexes may reduce P solubility. By comparing alum-treated KHPO and manures, it appears that organic matter in manure could interfere with the formation of Al-PO complexes.

Abstract
Polygonum hydropiper is a dominant plant species in Shifang phosphorus (P) mine area and is a promising P-accumulator used for P-phytoextraction. To date, little information is available on the physiological response involved in alleviating P toxicity of P. hydropiper under high P. A pot experiment was carried out to investigate growth, P subcellular distribution, chemical forms in two ecotypes of P. hydropiper under high levels (1, 4, and 8 mmol P L-1) of inorganic P (Pi) and organic P (Po), supplied as KH2PO4 and myo-inositol hexaphosphoric acid dodecasodium salt, respectively. The mining ecotype (ME) showed a greater ability to tolerate high P than the non-mining ecotype (NME), as shown by its superior growth with undamaged leaf anatomical structure. The ME showed 1.3-2.2 times greater shoot P accumulation than the NME. More than 93% of P accumulated in tissue cell wall and soluble fraction. The increasing P treatments increased all tissue P forms, especially Pi form. The ME showed significantly higher ester P, nucleic P and insoluble P in tissues than the NME at 8 mmol L-1; however, it demonstrated lower Pi, expect for roots at 5 weeks. The percentages of Pi and nucleic P in roots of the ME were higher than other P forms, and the percentages of nucleic P dominated in the leaves. Probably, the combination of preferential distribution of P in cell wall and soluble fraction in tissues and storage of P in low activity as nucleic P in leaves allows the ME to adapt high P.

Abstract
Continuous application of P fertilizers under different irrigation patterns can change soil phosphorus (P) chemical behavior and increase soil P levels that are of environmental concern. To assess the effect of long-term different irrigation patterns on soil P fractions and availability, this study examined sequential changes in soil organic P and inorganic P from furrow irrigation (FI), surface drip irrigation (SUR), and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) in the brown soil zone (0-60 cm) during 1998 to 2011. Analyses of soil P behavior showed that the levels of total P are frequently high on top soil layers. The total P (TP) contents of the entire soil profiles under three irrigation treatments were 830.2-3180.1 mg/kg. The contents of available P (AP) were 72.6-319.3 mg P/kg soil through soil profiles. The greatest TP and AP contents were obtained within the upper soil layers in FI. Results of Hedley's P fractionation indicate that HCl-P is a dominant form and the proportion to TP ranges from 29% to 43% in all three methods. The contents of various fractions of P were positively correlated with the levels of total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and calcium (Ca), whereas the P fractions had negative correlation with pH in all soil samples. Regression models proved that NaHCO3-Po was an important factor in determining the amount of AP in FI. H2O-Po, NaHCO3-Po, and NaOH-Pi were related to available P values in SUR. NaHCO3-Po and NaOH-Po played important roles in SDI. The tomato yield under SUR was higher than SDI and FI. The difference of P availability was also controlled by the physicochemical soil properties under different irrigation schedule. SUR was a reasonable irrigation pattern to improve the utilization efficiency of water and fertilizer.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all organisms, thus playing unique and critical roles at the food-energy-water nexus. Most P utilized by human activities eventually converges into various solid biowastes, such as crop biomass, animal manures, and sewage sludges. Therefore, integration of efficient P recovery practices into solid biowaste management will not only significantly reduce the dependence on limited geological P resources but also reduce P runoff and related water contamination issues associated with traditional waste management strategies. This study reviews the applications of (hydro)thermal techniques for the treatment of solid biowastes, which can greatly facilitate P recovery in addition to waste volume reduction, decontamination, and energy recovery. Research showed that P speciation (including molecular moiety, complexation state, and mineralogy) can experience significant changes during (hydro)thermal treatments, and are impacted by treatment techniques and conditions. Changes in P speciation and overall properties of the products can alter the mobility and bioavailability of P, and subsequent P reclamation and recycling efficiency of the treatment products. This review summarizes recent progresses in this direction, identifies the challenges and knowledge gaps, and provides a foundation for future research efforts targeting at sustainable management of nutrient-rich biowastes.

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of pH on extraction of nitrogen and phosphorus from swine manure following hydrothermal treatment. Conditions include thermal hydrolysis (TH) at 120°C and 170°C, and hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) at 200°C and 250°C in either water alone or in the presence of 0.1M NaOH, H2SO4, CH3COOH or HCOOH. Phosphorus extraction is pH and temperature dependent and is enhanced under acidic conditions. The highest level of phosphorus is extracted using H2SO4 reaching 94% at 170°C. The phosphorus is largely retained in the residue for all other conditions. The extraction of nitrogen is not as significantly influenced by pH, although the maximum N extraction is achieved using H2SO4. A significant level of organic-N is extracted into the process waters following hydrothermal treatment. The results indicate that operating hydrothermal treatment in the presence of acidic additives has benefits in terms of improving the extraction of phosphorus and nitrogen.

Abstract
Sequential fractionation has helped improving our understanding of the lability and bioavailability of P in soil. Nevertheless, there have been no reports on how manipulation of the different fractions prior to analyses affects the total P (TP) concentrations measured. This study investigated the effects of sample digestion, filtration, and acidification on the TP concentrations determined by ICP-OES in 20 soil samples. Total P in extracts were either determined without digestion by ICP-OES, or ICP-OES following block digestion, or autoclave digestion. The effects of sample filtration, and acidification on undigested alkaline extracts prior to ICP-OES were also evaluated. Results showed that, TP concentrations were greatest in the block-digested extracts, though the variability introduced by the block-digestion was the highest. Acidification of NaHCO3 extracts resulted in lower TP concentrations, while acidification of NaOH randomly increased or decreased TP concentrations. The precision observed with ICP-OES of undigested extracts suggests this should be the preferred method for TP determination in sequentially extracted samples. Thus, observations reported in this work would be helpful in appropriate sample handling for P determination, thereby improving the precision of P determination. The results are also useful for literature data comparison and discussion when there are differences in sample treatments.

P accumulation and physiological responses to different high P regimes in Polygonum hydropiper for understanding a P-phytoremediation strategy. Sci Rep 2015; 5:17835.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) accumulators used for phytoremediation vary in their potential to acquire P from different high P regimes. Growth and P accumulation in Polygonum hydropiper were both dependent on an increasing level of IHP (1–8 mM P) and on a prolonged growth period (3-9 weeks), and those of the mining ecotype (ME) were higher than the non-mining ecotype (NME). Biomass increments in root, stem, and leaf of both ecotypes were significantly greater in IHP relative to other organic P (Po) sources (G1P, AMP, ATP), but lower than those in inorganic P (Pi) treatment (KH2PO4). P accumulation in the ME exceeded the NME from different P regimes. The ME demonstrated higher root activity compared to the NME grown in various P sources. Acid phosphatase (Apase) and phytase activities in root extracts of both ecotypes grown in IHP were comparable to that in Pi, or even higher in IHP. Higher secreted Apase and phytase activities were detected in the ME treated with different P sources relative to the NME. Therefore, the ME demonstrates higher P-uptake efficiency and it is a potential material for phytoextraction from P contaminated areas, irrespective of Pi or Po contamination.

Abstract
Land disposal of pig manure is an environmental concern due to an imbalance of the nitrogen to phosphorus (N:P) ratio for crop production, leading to excess phosphorus (P) in soils and potential risks of water pollution. A process called "quick wash" was investigated for its feasibility to extract and recover P from pig manure solids. This process consists of selective dissolution of P from solid manure into a liquid extract using mineral or organic acid solutions, and recovery of P from the liquid extract by adding lime and an organic polymer to form a P precipitate. Laboratory tests confirmed the quick wash process selectively removed and recovered up to 90% of the total (TP) from fresh pig manure solids while leaving significant amounts of nitrogen (N) in the washed manure residue. As a result of manure P extraction, the washed solid residue became environmentally safer for land application with a more balanced N:P ratio for crop production. The recovered P can be recycled and used as fertilizer for crop production while minimizing manure P losses into the environment.

Abstract
In order to identify the phosphorus species and concentration in animal manure, we comparatively characterized phosphorus in dairy manure, swine manure, and broiler litter, using a sequential procedure, a simplified two-step procedure (NaHCO3/NaOH+EDTA), and a solution Phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (31P-NMR) spectroscopy procedure. In the sequential procedure, deionized water extracted 39, 22, and 32%; NaHCO3 extracted 48, 26, and 37%; NaOH extracted 8, 9, and 13.8%; and HCl extracted 3, 42.8, and 17% of the total phosphorus in dairy manure, swine manure and broiler litter, respectively. Total phosphorus extracted by the NaHCO3/NaOH+EDTA procedure was 7.5, 32.4, and 15.8 g P kg−1 for dairy manure, swine manure, and broiler litter, respectively. The solution 31P-NMR procedure detected that 9, 34, and 29% of total phosphorus was phytic acid in dairy manure, swine manure, and broiler litter, respectively. These results show that phosphorus forms, availability, and quantities differ between animal manures, which provides valuable information for P characterization of animal manures in China.
