Fig. 3. Relationship between water-extractable, dissolved (<0.45-µm pore diameter), molybdate-reactive soil phosphorus (DRPWE) and the soil phosphorus saturation index calculated using oxalate-extractable iron, aluminum, and molybdate-reactive phosphorus (PSIoxRP). ***Significant at the 0.001 probability level.
