- Abstract
This article discusses the release of phosphorus from riparian zone sediments. The authors incubated riparian wetland sediments in columns and measured the concentrations of phosphorus in porewater. They found that reductive dissolution of phosphorus bearing iron oxides was the likely to be the main cause of phosphorus release. They concluded that the nitrogen concentration in floodwater was inversely proportional to the timing of phosphorus release and that pore water from the floodplain wetland entering adjacent rivers could cause phosphorus in the rivers to rise.
