The Hedley method left 40% of phosphorus unextracted from sludge and 20% from ash, suggesting that it may be less appropriate for organic materials. Moreover, only 2 of the 6 Hedley phosphorus pools were within environmentally relevant pH conditions. Furthermore, the Hedley method overpredicted the readily available phosphorus. In contrast, the LEAF methods allowed for a more detailed analysis of phosphorus availability - while simultaneously assessing PTEs - across a controlled pH range. Moreover, LEAF used simpler procedures
