Phosphorus Adsorption and Its Correlation with Physicochemical Properties of Volcanic-Influenced Soils of Meupi-Awing in Northwest Cameroon by Mofor Nelson Alakeh, Njoyim Estella Buleng Tamungang, Fai Joel Alongifor

“…Phosphorus sorption studies revealed that the rate of phosphorus adsorption increased with an increase in the concentration of added phosphorus but decreased at a certain level at higher concentrations because the soil had no more capacity to adsorb phosphorus. The degree of fitness (R2) of the phosphorus adsorption data for the different adsorption models was in the order Langmuir < Temkin < Van Huay < Freundlich. …”
