Abstract: Based on the data from 8 soil profiles,the phosphorus characteristics of soils a nd groundwater in Nanjing urban area were studied. The results showed that the c oncentrations of total P, available P and soluble P in urban soils were 1.26~11.41g·kg-1, 19.48~166.74mg·kg-1 and 0.51~5.41 mg·kg-1, res pectively, much higher than those in agricultural soils in the same region.An extremely s ignificant positive correlation was found between available P and total P,and be tween soluble P and total and available P.There was no significant correlation b etween organic carbon, total N and total P, available P and soluble P in the urb an soils. The concentrations of dissolved P and total P in groundwater were 0.01 0~1.759mg·L-1 and 0.079~1.876mg·L-1,respectively,and they were significantly correlated to the weighted average contents of total P,available P, and soluble P in the urban soil profiles.
