Inorganic phosphate (P) associated with Fe(III) (hydr)oxides can be mobilized by reductive dissolution of the oxides. Bulk Ap samples from two loamy soils differing by nearly 50% in total P were amended with 6 or 60 mg glucose-C per 100 g soil at a water tension of 0.2 m. During 29 days of anoxic incubation at room temperature, the soil solution pH, concentrations of Fe(II) and molybdate reactive P were measured. The concentrations of P were correlated to neither total soil-P nor Fe(II) concentrations. Lack of proportionality between Fe(II) and P in solution was attributed to microbial uptake, resorption of P and also, at high Fe(II)-concentrations, to precipitation of Fe(II)-P compounds (e.g. vivianite). The highest P concentrations were observed in samples amended with the low-C dose, where the concentrations increased six-fold to approximately 0.3 mg PO4-P 1-1. This indicated that P leaching might increase from clayey soils subjected to moderately reducing conditions.
