Fig. 1. The relationship between Olsen P and CaCl2P for Barnfield soils from the 1958 sampling (adapted from McDowell et al., 2001). The arrow indicates the threshold or change point at 59 mg Olsen P kg-1. Filled circles indicate the samples used here (± standard errors).

Fig. 2. High-power decoupling with magic angle spinning (HPDecMAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (A) and cross polarization with magic angle spinning (CPMAS) (B) spectra of Soil 1 before extraction (control) and after extraction with either 0.01 M CaCl2 or water. Dashed and solid peaks represent Ca-P and Al-P species, respectively (see Fig. 3, Table 2). Resonances marked ssb are spinning sidebands.

Fig. 4. High-power decoupling with magic angle spinning (HPDecMAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (A) and cross polarization with magic angle spinning (CPMAS) (B) spectra of Soil 3 before extraction (control) and after extraction with either 0.01 M CaCl2 or water. Dashed and solid peaks represent Ca-P and Al-P species, respectively (see Fig. 3a, Table 2). Resonances marked ssb are spinning sidebands.
