Predicting phosphorus losses with the model PLEASE in the acid sandy region of Flanders

The reason for the spread of the results between both techniques can be explained by the fact that PLEASE is (more) sensitive to higher total P concentration at lower depths. Soil layers rich in P from where a lot of water is been transported, create a higher potential for P leaching.
