Phosphorous Sorption Characteristics of Soils in Smallholding Land Use in Southern Ethiopia

Table 4

Significance levels from the ANOVA analysis of sorption maximum capacity (Q_max), bonding energy (b_L), maximum buffering capacity (MBC), phosphorous buffering capacity (PBC)of Langmuir isotherm (L), and (F) Freundlich constant and by sites, land use, and their interaction.
