Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how using pedogenic ironstone and untreated red mud can help reduce phosphorus (P) loss in water runoff, which causes eutrophication in rivers and lakes.
- - Both materials showed similar P absorption capabilities, but red mud's absorption improved significantly when the pH dropped, making it more effective at retaining phosphorus compared to ironstone when mixed with soil.
- - While ironstone didn't affect soil drainage, adding even a small amount of red mud did; however, red mud also boosted the growth and phosphorus uptake of common bermudagrass, suggesting its potential use in permeable reactive barriers (PRB) for environmental management.
