Keywords: Biological P , Inorganic and Organic P , P cycling and Soil phosphorus

Session Description: This session will focus on links among various approaches and scales to studying P in soils and ultimately developing an integrated model for soil P cycling. Bottom-up information exchange may lead to more mechanistic field-scale models and top-down information sharing will inform scientists working at small scales how to better make their studies relevant to macroscopic P biogeochemical cycling. We seek soil chemists, physicists, and biologists who are experimentalists and modelers to come together to share knowledge and discuss a path forward to designing integrated research plans for understanding the complex behavior of this critical nutrient in Earth'™s critical zone.
