Abstract
Phosphorus (P) after nitrogen limits agricultural production in most region of the world. Information about P release rate is limited in Hamadan soils. The objective of this research was to study P release in 10 soils from Hamadan province by successive extraction with 0.5 M NaHCO over a period of 1752 h and the correlation of P release characteristics with soil properties and corn plant (Zea mays) indices. The results showed that soil P release began with a fast initial reaction, followed by a slow secondary reaction until 1752 h. The amounts of soil P released after 1752 h ranged from 309 to 586 mg kg-1. The cumulative P release was evaluated by six kinetics equations. Statistical analysis showed that phosphorus release kinetics were described by parabolic diffusion law, first order and power function equations. The correlation study indicated that soil P release coefficients such as rate constant of first order, parabolic diffusion law, power function equations, P released after 168 and 1752 h were significantly correlated with some soil properties such as Olsen-P, calcium carbonate equivalent, sand and silt. The correlation studies between plant indices and constants of kinetics equation showed that rate constant of first order equation was not significantly correlated with plant indices. Equation constants of parabolic diffusion law, power function and P release after 1752 h were significantly correlated with plant indices. The results of this research indicated that release rate of P is different in soils and is an important factor in supplying available P to plants.

Abstract
Rate of nonexchangeable K release can significantly influence K availability. Kinetics of K+ release was studied by extraction using 0.01 M CaCl2 in 12 surface calcareous soils of Kohgilouye Province. Results showed that cumulative K release ranged from 89.9 to 460.9 mg kg-1(Average 195.4 mg kg-1). Calcium carbonate, nonexchangeable K, cation exchange capacity and mica showed a significant correlation with K release. Maximum of potassium release was observed in Alfisols, probably because of high amount of clay content and the clay mineral of mica. The amount of K release was in the following order: Alfisols> Entisols> Inceptisols. Elovich, parabulic diffusion and power function equations could reasonably describe the K release kinetics. Fitting the data to these equations indicated that release of K is controlled by diffusion process.

Abstract
The study of the kinetics of non-exchangeable potassium (NEK) release is very important for a better understanding of K availability for plants in different soils. Moreover, aggregates with different sizes have different effects on the release of nutrients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the release of NEK in 5 calcareous soils of chaharmahal-va- bakhtiari province, and small and large aggregates (<250 μm and >250 μm) using CaCl2 0.01 M at 25±1ºc for 2-2017 h. The results showed that cumulative released NEK in soils, and small and large aggregates was 173.5-372.7, 215.1-426.1 and 178.9-381.5 mg kg-1, respectively. The results revealed that coefficients of the cumulative released NEK in small aggregates was lower than those of the soils and large aggregates. Based on the coefficient of determination (R2) and standard error (SE), the released NEK was well described by the first order, the power function, parabolic diffusion, and simplified Elovich equations. The rate coefficients of the release of K were different in different soils. The cumulative released amount of K and its rate of release in a solution of calcium chloride in small aggregates was more than those of large aggregates.
