Soil phosphorus (P) is among the most important but least understood nutrients supporting the productivity and function of terrestrial ecosystems. To understand soil P cycling, it is essential to quantify the effects of plants on soil P fractions (labile inorganic P [Pi), intermediately available Pi, organic P, and occluded P). The study aimed to compare how the rhizosphere effect of different life-form plants influences P fractions in P-depleted and P. enriched soils in southwest China's subtropical mountainous region. For all three selected species (native conifer, Pinus yunnanensis; native shrub, Myrsine africana; invasive herb: Eupatoriurn adenophorum), total P and P-fraction concentrations were much higher in the high-P site than in the low-P site. Occluded and organic P were the dominant fractions at the low-P site, while occluded and intermediate P were the dominant P fractions at the high-P site. Species identity significantly affected all five soil P fractions in both sites, except organic P at the high-P site. Total P, labile P, and intermediate P changed significantly with time. Additionally, plants were able to increase the rhizosphere effect on labile and intermediate P at the low-P site, as well as organic P at the high-P site. Eupabarium adenophorum exerted a significantly positive rhizosphere effect on labile and intermediate P at the low-P site, as well on labile P and organic P in the high-P site. Thus, compared with native M. africana and P. yunnanensis, the invasive E. adenophorum can more effectively alter rhizosphere soil P fractions in response to different soil P levels. Linear regression showed that the rhizosphere effect on labile P was correlated with the rhizosphere effect on pH, and the rhizosphere effect on organic P was related to the rhizosphere effect on soil organic matter and exchangeable Fe-ox and Al-ox. In conclusion, different life-form plants generally exert a different rhizosphere effect through geochemical and biological processes, thus influencing P biogeochemical cycling in different soil P contents.
