Vorschau

In this study, the P categories present in a river and its estuary in northern Germany, which discharge into the Baltic Sea, were characterized. Using the molybdenum blue method we found that the classification of P into the traditional fractions (DIP, DOP, POP) applied in the ocean cannot be applied to turbid waters such as rivers because interferences between the fractions seems to occur. Therefore a new nomenclature has been introduced. In addition to total phosphorus (TP) and dissolved molybdate-reactive phosphorus (DRP; previously referred to as inorganic phosphorus), dissolved non-molybdate-reactive phosphorus (DNP), particulate molybdatereactive phosphorus (PRP), and particulate non-molybdate-reactive phosphorus (PNP) were distinguished.
