Fig. 1. Dissolved organic P (DOP) adsorption isotherms of Mt. Shasta mudflow soils at depths of (a) 0 to 10 cm, (b) 30 to 40 cm, and (c) 140 to 150 cm. Lines are fitted according to the Langmuir equation (Eq. [4]), r2 ranged from 0.91 to 0.99.

Fig. 2. Regression analysis for (a) the adsorption capacity for DOP and the age of the soils and (b) the slope of the adsorption isotherm of PO4 and the age of the soils.

Fig. 3. Orthophosphate adsorption isotherms of Mt. Shasta mudflow soils at depths of (a) 0 to 10 cm, (b) 30 to 40 cm, and (c) 140 to 150 cm. Lines are linear regressions and are indicated on the figure.

Fig. 4. Regression analysis between (a) the adsorption capacity for DOP and allophane concentrations and (b) the slope of the PO4 adsorption isotherms and allophane concentrations in the soils.

Fig. 5. Phosphate/DOP ratio in the equilibrium solution of the most concentrated initial solution (292 µg DOP L–1 and 696 µg PO4 L–1). The dashed line represents the PO4/DOP ratio in the initial solution. Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference in the PO4/DOP ratio in the equilibrium solution as compared with the initial solution (p ≤ 0.05, two-tailed single sample paired t test); different letters indicate significant differences in the PO4/DOP ratio among soils of different age and within one soil depth (P < 0.05, Tukey's HSD test).

Fig. 6. The DOC/DOP ratio in the equilibrium solution of the most concentrated initial solution (200 mg DOC L–1 and 292 µg DOP L–1). The dashed line represents the DOC/DOP ratio in the initial solution. Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference in the PO4/DOP ratio in the equilibrium solution as compared with the initial solution (p ≤ 0.05, two-tailed single sample paired t test); different letters indicate significant differences in the PO4/DOP ratio among soils of different age and within one soil depth (P < 0.05, Tukey's HSD test).

Fig. 7. Regression analysis between the soil solution concentration of (a) DOP and (b) PO4 at 10-, 16-, or 20-, 40-, and 150-cm soil depth and the null-point DOP and PO4 concentration in soil samples from 0- to 10-, 30- to 40-, and 140- to 150-cm soil depth. The dashed line in 7(b) shows the regression analysis, excluding the influential point (77 yr-old soil, 0–10 cm).
