『Abstract
In a recent article by Devau et al. (2011) a mechanistic model
based on a surface complexation theory is presented which aims
to predict the solubility of inorganic phosphorus (P) in soils.
Compared with many empirical soil studies, the surface complexation
approach as applied to soils is to be encouraged since it provides
a coherent and mechanistically based foundation for the interpretation
of a wide range of soil chemical phenomena. Soil chemists have
attempted to explain P solubility for decades, so Devau et al.
(2011) have attempted a difficult task but unfortunately they
have introduced a number of errors that need to be corrected.
The purpose of the present contribution is to suggest some corrections
to their proposed model and provide commentary on the errors and
inconsistencies concerning the application and citation of the
sources of thermodynamic data. Hopefully this will provide some
insights for others wishing to progress this subject.』
