Short summary
This modelling study investigates the changes in soil P pools and crop P uptake, using a 0.5-by-0.5° spatially explicit model for the period 1900–2010. The simulated country-scale crop P uptake agrees well with historical P uptake. This comprehensive and spatially explicit model can be used to assess the dynamics of soil P inventories, which serve as indicators for soil fertility and productivity.
