    1. two correlation plots were generated. The first compares J0 to the chelate-extractable P (PAAE10), and the second compares it to the water-soluble P (PCO2).

      I suggest not to mention the plots as sucht, but rather that you correlated them. E.g.:

      Jo was correlated with chelate-extractable P (Figure 6a) and water soluble P (Figure 6 b).

    2. as one of the best predictors across all agronomic response variables

      one of the best, or the best? If you write, one of the best, thef other good ones would also be interesting. Therefore, maybe just write: "the best" ore the most predictive, to be less judgy.

    3. particularly the rate constant k,

      Before, you state, that k has the least direct relation to fertilisation. So why is it particularly interesting? A clarifying sentence might help here.

    4. * Desorbable P (Pdesorb):

      Its not so nice to use : after :

      I suggest to rephrase the sentences, e.g. to The desorbable P parameter ( P desorb ) behaved very ...

    5. chart of the adapted Kinetik-experiment after Flossmann & Richter.

      Why you stir for 90 minutes but take the last sample at 60 min? Maybe stir until last measurement?

    6. Unlike the original protocol, a pre-washing step to remove soluble P was not performed

      But in the flowchart, the supernantant fluid is also discarded. Isn't this a pre-washing?

    7. The efficacy of P fertilization is often low due to these rapid and competing immobilization processes, and P lost from agricultural fields can become an environmental pollutant, disturbing P-limited aquatic ecosystem

      It's a repetition from previous paragraph.

    8. The efficacy of P fertilization is often low due to these rapid immobilization processes, and P lost from agricultural fields can become an environmental pollutant, disturbing P-limited aquatic ecosystems.

      Proposition: Make it two sentences and give a little more specifying detail on the second point as for me, it is not clear, if excess soluble or fixed P becomes a problem. Also, the second point can be better introduced, as it is not an evident consequence of the previous content.

      The efficacy of P fertilization is often low due to these rapid immobilization processes. Also, soluble/immoblizied P lost from agricultural fields can become an environmental pollutant, disturbing P-limited aquatic ecosystems.
