Quantifying labile phosphorus (P) pools in biosolids is needed to manage biosolids for both agronomic and environmental purposes. Phosphorus indices originated in an effort to protect surface water quality from-non-point-agricultural P inputs. The objectives of this research were to: (1) evaluate soil test components of the western Oregon P index...

with that in Willamette valley soils and calcareous soils from Eastern
Oregon. The experimental work to meet these objectives included
laboratory and greenhouse studies.
The removal of P...
Biometric and gas exchange techniques were used to measure soil respiration (soil surface CO₂ efflux) and NEP (Net Ecosystem Production) across three climatically-distinct forest chronosequences in Oregon. Results indicate significant forest type, age, and forest type x age interaction effects on annual soil respiration. A regional age class distribution skewed...
