Phosphorus: a limiting nutrient for humanity?
Phosphorus is a chemical element that is essential to life because of its role in numerous key molecules, including DNA and RNA; indeed, organisms require large amounts of P to grow rapidly. However, the supply of P from the environment is often limiting to production, including to crops. Thus, large amounts of P are mined annually to produce fertilizer that is applied in support of the 'Green ...
متن کاملNutrient uptake rate and removal efficiency of Vetiveria zizanioides in contaminated waters
This research compares the performance of floating systems planted with Vetiveria zizanioides as a hydroponic approach for removing nutrients from two contaminated waters. For this purpose, two pilots with overall net volume of 60 litres were constructed and inoculated by secondary treated domestic wastewater (STDW) and irrigation water obtained from Minab reservoir (IWMR) in batch mode. Regard...

متن کاملNonpoint Pollution of Surface Waters with Phosphorus and Nitrogen
Agriculture and urban activities are major sources of phosphorus and nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems. Atmospheric deposition further contributes as a source of N. These nonpoint inputs of nutrients are difficult to measure and regulate because they derive from activities dispersed over wide areas of land and are variable in time due to effects of weather. In aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients c...
متن کاملNutrient dynamics at the interface between surface waters and groundwaters
1. The surface water/groundwater (SW/GW) interface is a crucial control point for lateral nutrient ̄uxes between uplands and aquatic ecosystems and for upstream/ downstream (longitudinal) processes in lotic ecosystems. 2. Hydrological and biogeochemical dynamics of the SW/GW ecotone are linked to the degree of channel constraint and the sediment characteristics of the ̄oodplain and stream bed. 3....
