Changes in the Reserves of Mineral Phosphates in the Soils of the Salair Foothills under the Influence of Water Erosion and Fertilizers

Abstract
On the basis of the fractional composition data, the changes in the reserves of mineral phosphates are shown and the transformation of superphosphate and phosphorite powder in the soils of different extent of washing is considered. It is revealed that erosion processes result in a decrease in phosphate-mobilizing activity and in the content of phosphorus-containing compounds most available for plants, while the phosphate capacity of the soil increases.
