Abstract

The composition of organic phosphorus compounds was studied using the 31P NMR spectroscopy method in agrogray soils with periodic water logging. The phosphorus content was determined by the specific difference between the hydrological and the redox regimes of these soils. The phosphorus of the organic compounds in the agrogray soils with contrasting water regimes is composed mostly of phosphoric monoesters and diesters, including nucleic and teichoic acids. The relative distribution of the monoesters and inorganic orthophosphates is shown depending on the climate and the soil’s position in the relief. The area of the monoester peaks increases by two times and that of the mineral orthophosphate decreases by six times in the agro-gray soils of Bryansk opolie with an optimal regime of moistening and evaporation in comparison with the agro-gray gleyed soils of Kolomna opolie. As the degree of the soil hydromorphism in the sequence of deeply gleyed soils and gleyic soils increased, the portion of monoesters decreased. Favorable conditions for the microbial activity are formed in soils with a contrasting redox regime, and this is expressed in the accumulation of labile diesters. Inverse relationships were found between the distributions of the mono- and diesters in iron-manganic nodules and in the soils enclosing them; this was caused by the different mechanisms of the stabilization of the stable and labile phosphorus containing compounds. A high percentage of mineral orthophosphate in the nodules allows assuming the presence of chemisorbed orthophosphate ions in organomineral phosphate-metal-humus complexes. The transformation of iron-manganic nodules under the influence of drying demonstrates the more direct participation of microorganisms in the nodules’ formation than the contribution of the physicochemical processes.
