Summary in the original language of the document

On five farms that have been managed organically for several years, all cultivated soils were sampled on two occasions. The time span between the first and second soil sampling varied from 6 to 12 years. At the first sampling the farms had been managed organically for 3, 4, 6, 1 1 or 53 years. The average phosphorus (P) concentrations in topsoil (0-20 cm) extracted by ammonium-acetate lactate solution (P-AL) decreased from the first to the second sampling on all farms. At the second soil sampling, the average topsoil P-AL concentrations on the five farms were 50, 64, 65, 75 and
119 mg P kg-1, which is characterised as medium (26-65 mg P kg-1) or high (66-150 mg P kg-1). The decrease occurred mostly in soils with high and very high (>150 mg P kg-1) P-AL concentrations at the first sampling. In these samples, the average value decreased from 100 to 87 and from 188 to 151 mg P kg-1, respectively. In subsoil (20-40 cm), an increase from 15 to 27 mg P kg-1 (P<0.01) in P-AL concentration was found in subsoil sampl
