Evidence for sulphate-controlled phosphorus release from sediments of aquatic systems

Evidence for sulphate-controlled phosphorus release from sediments of aquatic systems

Sediments of aquatic systems play a critical part in controlling phosphorus loading to the water column. To examine the controls of phosphorus (P) release from sediments, without the possible artifacts of sediment core studies, an in situ geochemical approach, is used.
