Abstract | The data from the incubation experiment indicates that the degradation of sedimentary organic matter is the principal mechanism of P regeneration in the central part of the Gulf of Trieste, N Adriatic and is much more extensive during anoxic condition. The release of phosphate adsorbed on the iron oxide surface is of minor importance. The results of the tentative mass balance show that approximately 50% of P is retained in the sediments presumably in the form of fluoroapatite. | |
