ABSTRACT
Incorporation of 35S-sulfate into phosphate-extractable S, hydriodic acid-reducible S (HI-S), and total S was measured in three horizons of Spodosols from the Huntington Forest, New York and Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire. After 56 d 35S incorporated into nonwater-extractable S constituents was 92, 65, 92, 63, 72, and 91% of the total 35S-activity for the Huntington Forest Oa, Bh, Bsl, and Hubbard Brook Oa, Bh, and Bsl horizons, respectively. Immobilization of 35S-sulfate into carbon-bonded S (total S — HI-S) was the major incorporation pathway in the Oa horizons. Adsorption of 35S-sulfate (phosphate-extractable) was most evident in the Bh and Bsl horizons. Incorporation of 35S-sulfate into ester sulfate (HI-S — inorganic S) occurred in all horizons. The influence of immobilization-mineralization and adsorption-desorption on S dynamics of these forest soils was evaluated.
