Short summary

We assessed soil phosphorus (P) status in aspen forests and grasslands in SW Siberia. Results show rather limited variation across sites. Relative to a global database, total, organic and inorganic P levels in SW Siberia were relatively high. Plant-available P levels had intermediate levels in topsoils, but large amounts of plant-available P are stored in subsurface layers down to 1 m. Overall, P resources do not seem to constrain current and future vegetation production.
