Describe about the term - inorganic phosphorus
The large quantity of carbon dioxide evolved during organic matter decomposition is thought to be important to the release of certain nutrients, particularly inorganic phosphorus. The carbon dioxide dissolves in water and forms carbonic acid and decreases soil pH. This effect would be of greater importance on neutral and alkaline soils. Under such conditions the temporary reduction in pH would increase the rate of release of other elements such as boron, zinc, manganese and iron as well as phosphorus
