Fig. 2 Comparison of pre-burn and post-burn pools of plant-available P (resin P, NaHCO3 P) and non-plant-available organic (NaOH P, NaOH + sonication P) plus occluded P in 0- to 5-cm depth soils. Standard error bars were based on plots for burned treatment and samples for the unburned control forest
