The aim of this paper is to introduce a virtual special issue that reviews the development of
analytical approaches to the determination of phosphorus species in natural waters. The …

Elemental phosphorus (P) is key to all life forms on earth. Efficient P management and
control in natural environments especially in water bodies is of paramount importance to the …

In recent years, a large volume of literature has been published regarding the removal of
phosphorus (P) from wastewater. Various sorbing materials, such as metal oxides and …

Phosphate plays a crucial role in driving biogeochemical cycles and directly affects
environmental quality. Therefore, accurate, practical, and versatile methods for phosphate …

Phosphorus (P) pollution of surface waters remains a challenge for protecting and improving
water quality. Central to the challenge is understanding what regulates P concentrations in …

Identifying nonpoint phosphorus (P) sources in a watershed is essential for addressing
cultural eutrophication and for proposing best-management solutions. The oxygen isotope …

Poor recovery of phosphorus (P) across natural environment (water, soil, sediment, and
biological sources) is causing rapid depletion of phosphate rocks and continuous …

Reducing excess phosphorus (P) loads that cause eutrophication in aquatic systems is
essential for meeting water quality standards. The oxygen isotopic composition of phosphate …

Increased concentrations of phosphorus (P) in riverine systems lead to eutrophication and
can contribute to other environmental effects. Chalk rivers are known to be particularly …

Phosphorus (P) plays important roles in aquatic ecosystems, but accurately determining
phosphorus species (particularly bioavailable phosphate) is difficult. When phosphate …
