Fig. 5. Comparison of measured and simulated (Eq. [6]) values of dissolved organic C (DOC) (left) and dissolved organic P (DOP) (right) concentrations for all samples investigated. The line 1:1 indicates where a measured value is equal to a simulated value.

Fig. 6. Fractionation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) during sorption represented by the DOC/DOP ratios in solution vs. dissolved DOC concentration for Ap, EB, and Bt horizons at pH 7 (left) and pH 5 (right). Dots correspond to averages for all reaction times for each soil sample.
