Why Does Phosphorus Added to Wetlands Accumulate in Soils

1 Why Does Phosphorus Added to Wetlands Accumulate in Soils  [Pg.328]

Phosphorus accumulation in wetlands is regulated by vegetation, periphyton and plankton, plant litter and detrital accumulation, soil physicochemical properties, water flow velocity, water depth, hydraulic retention time, length-to-width ratio of the wetland, phosphorus loading, and hydrologic fluctuations. In evaluating wetlands for phosphorus accumulation, it is necessary to consider the following  [Pg.328]

Short-term storage and associated phosphorus dynamics signihcantly impact long-term storage and discharge water quality. [Pg.328]

Following are the examples of wetlands, where long-term phosphorus loading has resulted in soil phosphorus gradients  [Pg.328]

Gradient in nutrient enrichment in soil/water (Distance from inflow) [Pg.328]
