In the calcareous soil of Cemovsko Polje, Montenegro, the total content of phosphorus and of soluble metals relevant for phosphorus chemism have been determined. The results of a correlation analysis indicate that the investigated soil layers differ significantly by nature of assotiation of phosphorus (P) with metals. In surface layer (0-30 cm), individual associations of phosphorus (P) with metals have not been showed. The total phosphorus of underlying soil layer (30-60 cm) is to a considerable extent composed of inorganic and organic forms of phosphorus associated with Al, Fe and Mn.
