In shallow lakes, mobilization of legacy phosphorus (P) from the sediments can be the main cause for persisting eutrophication after reduction of external P input. In-lake remediation measures can be applied to reduce internal P loading and to achieve ecosystem recovery. The eutrophic shallow peat lake Terra Nova (The Netherlands) was treated with iron (Fe) to enhance P retention in the sediment.

- Lead-calcium phosphates, specifically the (PbCa)(PO)OH solid solution, are valuable materials found in cultural heritage artifacts, yet their diagnostic properties have been under-studied.
- This paper investigates the relationship between the composition and structure of these compounds, aiming to establish key markers for their identification in cultural heritage samples using non-destructive methods.
- The researchers used advanced techniques like scanning electron microscopy and synchrotron radiation-based X-ray methods to analyze variations in these materials, providing useful data and methods for future studies in the field.
Pyrolysis of calcium-rich feedstock (e.g., poultry manure) generates semi-crystalline and crystalline phosphorus (P) species, compromising its short-term availability to plants.
