Summary

Abstract The predominantly coarse texture of Florida Spodosols, limited P‐holding capacity, and fluctuating water table present major challenges for management of P, particularly in agricultural areas receiving biosolids. This study evaluated the impacts of water table level on P fate in Spodosols with contrasting P‐management histories. Treatments were a combination of soils with different biosolids histories (control [no biosolids], intermediate and high [biosolids‐P loads of 567 and 706 kg P ha −1 , respectively]) and two moisture regimens (drained and flooded [water table at the depth of spodic horizon or 2 cm above soil surface, respectively]). Soil samples (A, E, and B horizons) were packed into PVC columns (96 cm tall, 11 cm in diameter), mimicking the soil profile. Leachate and por
