Fig. 2. Relationship between soil WSP (water-soluble P) and runoff DRP (dissolved reactive P) concentration for all soils as grouped by physiographic region. Lowercase letters in inset indicate statistical significance (P = 0.05) of slope and intercept among the physiographic region. Physiographic regions that possess the same letter are not significantly different from each other.
