Stratification of soil phosphorus forms from long-term repeated poultry litter applications and its environmental implication

Increasing demand for poultry products has led to an intensification of concentrated poultry feeding operations resulting in the generation of enormous amounts of poultry litter (PL). For example, in 2017 the southeastern U.S. alone generated 9.35 million U.S. tons of broiler litter. Repeated applic...
