Fig. 1. Concentrations of colloidal molybdate-reactive phosphorus (MRP) (µM) in surface runoff and soil-test P (mg P kg–1) for three calcareous arable soils from the semiarid western United States. Values are from sprinkler irrigation simulation experiments conducted on dry and wet soils.

Fig. 2. Correlations between surface runoff concentrations of colloidal molybdate-reactive phosphorus (MRP) (µM) and colloidal Ca (µM) for the Portneuf soil (top), and colloidal Fe (µM) for the Warden soil (bottom). Runoff was generated by simulated sprinkler irrigation. Colloidal fractions were defined as particles between 1 µm and 1 nm in diameter.

Fig. 3. Concentrations (µM) of molybdate-reactive phosphorus (MRP), Ca, Fe, and Mg in size fractions of water extracts of five representative semiarid arable soils of the western United States. Values for each filter pore size indicate the concentration passing through that filter.

Fig. 4. Correlations between soil properties and concentrations of colloidal molybdate-reactive phosphorus (MRP) in water extracts of 12 semiarid arable soils of the western United States. Colloidal MRP concentrations are in µM (top row of figures) and as the proportion (%) of the filterable (<1 µm) MRP (bottom row of figures). Colloidal MRP was defined as P associated with particles between 1 µm and 0.3 nm in diameter.

Fig. 5. Concentrations of colloidal molybdate-reactive phosphorus (MRP) (µM) in water extracts of three semiarid arable soils following acidification to different pH values with HCl. Colloidal MRP was defined as P associated with particles between 1 µm and 0.3 nm in diameter, and solutions were neutralized before filtration to prevent membrane damage.
