High-resolution pore water equilibrators (HR-Peeper) and diffusive gradients in the thin films ( DGT) technologies were combined to in situ measure soluble reactive phosphorus (c(PW)) and labile phosphorus (C(DGT)) on seven sites in the west of Lake Chaohu. Vertical distributions of c(PW) and c(DGT) in most sediment profiles were similar to a different extent, demonstrating that the buffer capacity of the sediment solids to pore water SRP was similar at different depths. The diffusion flux across the sediment-water interface (SWI) and the ratio of cDGT/ c(PW) (R) were used to characterize phosphorus activity in sediments. From the center of the lake to the estuary of Nanfei River, the values of c(PW) and c(DGT) within the 6 mm layer were below the SWI and the SWI diffusion flux gradually increased, reflecting an increase in pollution level of sediment phosphorus. The change of R values was unconspicuous, indicating that the buffering capacity of the interface sediment had no significant difference.

Observations of dissolved cadmium (dCd) and phosphate (PO) suggest an unexplained loss of dCd to the particulate phase in tropical oxyclines. Here, we compile existing observations of particulate Cd and phosphorus (P), and present new data from the US GEOTRACES GP15 Pacific Meridional Transect to examine this phenomenon from a particulate Cd perspective. We use a simple algorithm to reproduce station depth profiles of particulate Cd and P via regeneration and possible subsurface accumulation.

Elevated CO (eCO) stimulates productivity and nutrient demand of crops. Thus, comprehensively understanding the crop phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is critical for sustaining agriculture to combat climate changes. Here, wheat ( L) was planted in field in the eCO (550 µmol mol) and ambient CO (aCO, 415 µmol mol) environments.

Phosphorus (P) is a macroelement primarily found in insoluble forms in nature. Enhancing the effectiveness of P is crucial for sustainable agricultural development and ecosystems. The research employed a combination of sequential extraction methods, high-throughput sequencing techniques, microbial culturing, and ecological network analysis of bacterial communities, along with module comparison, to explore the dynamics of different P fractions in calcareous soils.

Coastal waters are receiving increasing loads of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), differing in structural complexity and molecular weights with potential different effects on the phosphorus (P) dynamics in these waters. This study conducted an in-situ investigation in Xiangshan Harbor, China, to explore the patterns of P release in response to DOC inputs. To further elucidate the underlying mechanisms behind the DOC-affected sediment P release, a two-month mesocosm experiment was undertaken with coastal sediment (Xiangshan Harbor) to which acetate, glucose, and humic acid (representing the fermentation product, the simple available carbon, and the refractory humic-like carbon sources, respectively) were separately added to the overlying water at dosages of 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg C L.

Estuaries significantly affect the transport of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from land to ocean. While the transport and composition of estuarine DOM have been extensively studied, the direct link between DOM chemistry and its age remains unclear, limiting a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and fate of estuarine DOM under severe conditions (e.g.
