Relationship between inorganic orthophosphate (mg P kg-1 soil) in NaOH–EDTA extracts of the 18 western U.S. soils determined by molybdate colorimetry and solution 31P NMR spectroscopy. The regression model is described by the equation: [Orthophosphate by molybdate colorimetry] = 0.899 ± 0.032[orthophosphate by 31P NMR] -6.023 ± 4.572; R2 = 0.98, F = 815, P < 0.0001, n = 18)

Relationships between soil properties, climate variables (mean annual precipitation [mm] and temperature [°C]) and organic P determined by bicarbonate extraction and molybdate colorimetry, and by NaOH–EDTA extraction and solution 31P NMR spectroscopy (mg P kg-1 soil). Outlying soils not included in the calculation of correlation coefficients are identified as shaded circles.
