In this article we ask, "Are there changes in the global P cycle that could increase impacts on freshwater systems?" Specifically, we attempt to determine whether there is, in fact, increased P storage in the soils of terrestrial ecosystems. We address this question through synthesis of existing literature and use a budget approach to estimate the increase in P storage in upland ecosystems.
