Fig. 1. Effect of extraction ratio (10:1, 100:1, 200:1) on water-extractable phosphorus (WEP) of manures and biosolids measured by 10 laboratories in experiment B. Open symbols indicate colorimetric determination of WEP. Closed symbols indicate inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry determination of WEP.

Fig. 2. Example of water-extractable P (WEP) extraction ratio effects on the relationship between manure or biosolids WEP and dissolved reactive P (DRP) concentration in runoff in experiment D. Phosphorus in runoff was determined by colorimetry. Only one set of WEP extraction protocols is presented (centrifugation, colorimetric P determination). The effects of additional variables on the correlation between biosolids or manure WEP and runoff P are reported in Table 6.
