Abstract
We aimed to quantify the pool size of soil microbial biomass P (Pmic) during the early stage of soil development up to 125 years after glacial retreat in the Gongga Mountains, China and relate the pool size of Pmic to the plant P (Pplant) pools in the ecosystem. We determined the pool sizes of P in soil microbes, plants and soils and the P fluxes with plant uptake and litterfall in successional ecosystems at five study sites along the 125-year...
