| Abstract/Contents: | Populations of the perennial grass species Anthoxanthum odoratum L. collected form contrasting plots of the Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted differ in their response to acid and calcareous soils (Snaydon 1970) and the differences between populations appear to be adaptive. These differences might involve simultaneous adaptation to a number of soil nutrient factors. The populations have already been shown to differ in their response to calcium (Davies & Snaydon 1973a) and to aluminum (Davies & Snaydon 1973b), and these differences are correlated with differences in the soil pH of source plots of the population. The soils on the various plots of the Park Grass Experiment differ widely in available phosphorus content (Warren & Johnston 1964). These differences occur both because of the different amounts of phosphate fertilizers that have been applied annually for the last 120 years (Brenchley & Warington 1958) and because of the large differences in soil pH that exist between plots. Phosphate is likely to be relatively unavailable on the more acid soils and on the calcareous soils (Wild 1960; Russell 1961; Larsen 1967; Sutton & Gunary 1969). Differences in response to phosphorus have been demonstrated between cultivars of several cultivated species (Gregory & Crowther 1928; Smith 1934; Lyness 1936; Vose 1963) and between naturally occurring populations of several species (Snaydon & Bradshaw 1962; Crossley & Bradshaw 1968; Ramakrishnan 1968, 1969). This paper compared the phosphate response of population of Anthoxanthum odoratum collected from contrasting plots of the Park Grass Experiment and considers the relationship between the response of these populations to phosphorus and the soil chemical composition of their source plots. |
