Abstract: The paper presents the results of research into the total content of phosphorus and its selected forms against the chemical properties of Luvisol due to plant growing technologies applied: medium intensive (sI) and intensive (sII) technologies. In the soil the following were determined: pH in KCl, total organic carbon (TOC), total phosphorus (Pog), organic phosphorus (Porg), mineral phosphorus (Pmin), content of CaCO3, as well as the total contents of Zn, Cu and Ni, Pb, Cr. It was found that the plant growing technologies applied changed the reaction, total organic carbon, phosphorus and its forms. The macronutrients for the plants were more favourable in the soil with the medium intensive growing technologies used. The value of the ratio Corg : Porg in the soil horizons of profile sI was higher than in the horizons of profile sII, which demonstrates a lower rate of mineralization of organic phosphorus bonds. The highest content of the zinc, copper, nickel, chrome and lead investigated was recorded in horizons B of the profiles studied, which was determined by the process of soil washing. Drawing on the distribution index (DI) calculated, there was identified an anthropogenic effect on the distribution of total phosphorus and its forms in the soil profiles investigated.
