According to the diagram, sources that contribute to the phosphorus found in the soil are the mineralization of organic forms of phosphorus, leaching, decomposition and adsorption, as well as weathering from rocks that can be also eroted. Another less natural source is the use of mineral fertilizers for agriculture.
