Enriquecimiento fosfórico del suelo y su Impacto ambiental.

Phosphorus is one of the three primary macronutrients required for the growth of plants and animals. Its excessive application in agrosystems has generated soils enriched with P in many latitudes. The review's aim is to provide an abbreviated consideration of the meaning enriched with P and its environmental effects. When the balance between the applied P minus the exported is positive, the assimilable P increases. Therefore, an accumulation of P occurs over the years, producing the P-enrichment of soils. Phosphorus participates in the eutrophication of water bodies, which is exacerbated by P-enriched soils. In P-enriched soils, the pH increases, the content of organic matter decreases, the kaolinite is decomposed, nutrition is affected by antagonistic effects, and mycorrhizal function is inhibited.
