We investigated the effects of phosphorus (P) application on root respiration (RR) and heterotrophic microbial respiration (MR) in an Acacia mangium plantation using a trenching method. Mean RR was 0.46g Cm-2 day-1 in a non-P-applied plot, which accounted for 16% of total soil respiration, exhibiting a lower RR value and proportion of total soil respiration compared with previous studies. Mean MR was 2.41g Cm-2 day-1, accounting for 84% of the whole soil respiration. P application significantly (P <0.01) increased the mean RR from 0.46 to 0.88g Cm-2 day-1. Applied P was readily absorbed by acacia trees, which was inferred from the lower available P and total P in non-trenched plots compared to the trenched plots, and it is likely that the absorbed P stimulated root activities and RR. P application also significantly (P <0.001) increased the mean MR from 2.41 to 2.89g Cm-2 day-1, probably because P application relieved the P shortage and stimulated microbial organic matter decomposition. Our study suggests that when assessing the effects of P fertilization on C cycling in forest plantation, we should take account of the effects on organic matter decomposition and soil respiration, not only the effects on C sequestration by trees.
