Role of Sediments in the Nutrient Dynamics of the Baltic

Sea bottom anoxia in the Archipelago Sea, northern Baltic Sea—Implications for phosphorus remineralization at the sediment surface

“…The dominant P fraction was inorganic P, which is in agreement with the other areas of the Baltic Sea. At a few sites, however, P org contents exceeded 60% of P tot , which is similar to the proportions of organic P both in oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes (Jansson, 2001). In the referred studies, different extraction methods were used.…”
