Popis: Phosphate sorption isotherms and parameter values were determined on eight calcareous soils which were carefully decalcified using a procedure which minimized changes in cation saturation. Calcite content of the original soils varied from 0.8 to 24 2% and calcite surface areas from 4 . 0 to 8.5 m2 g-1. Sorption parameters were derived from the Langmuir 'two-surface' equation. Decalcification increased phosphate sorption at low residual P concentrations (
