Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient for the growth of marine organisms. Tidal cycle had major influence on various biogeochemical parameters of the bay and changed nutrients input with the ebb and flow of the tide. Seawater was collected by synchronous continuous observation during summer in 2021, to investigate tide drives total phosphorus (TP) variation on the concentration, speciation and exchange flux between Shuidong Bay (SDB) and South China Sea (SCS). Results indicated that there was significant tidal variation in exchange flux of TP between SDB and SCS. DIP and DOP were the main speciation of TDP in different tidal periods, accounting for 53.9 % and 46.1 %TP flowed from SCS to SDB, and monthly exchange flux was about 21.26 t. This study provides new insights in P tidal cycling across the semi-enclosed bay-coastal water continuum, which was implications for understanding P biogeochemical process and primary production dynamics in coastal water.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:64179-64190.

Abstract
Seasonal low-oxygen in marine ranching in the northern Yellow Sea has been one of the major environmental problems in coastal waters in recent years. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are important nutrients, which are susceptible to the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). This article studied the effects of low-oxygen on nutrients represented by N and P fractions in marine ranching in the northern Yellow Sea. The results showed that there were significant layer differences in temperature and salinity during the low-oxygen period. In the seawater, the nutrient distribution in the death disaster zone of sea cucumbers and the non-disaster zone was similar, and DO had a strong positive correlation with dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN). In the sediment, significant regional differences existed in nutrient concentration, and the concentration of total phosphorus (TP) decreased significantly with the increase in DO content. The results showed that the sources and sinks of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients were inconsistent in this zone, and migration and transformation of the existing form of nitrogen with the seasonal changes in the water environment was a main factor for N distribution. This study extended the understanding of the effects of seasonal low-oxygen on N and P.

Abstract
Estuaries are the most productive transition ecosystem and phosphorus (P) plays an important role in these ecosystems. Therefore, in the present study, sequential extraction method was used to determine the abundance of five sediment P fractions (calcium (Ca-P), Iron (FeP), aluminum (AlP), exchangeable (Ex-P) and organic (OrgP) bound P) in Netravathi-Gurupur estuary, India. Total phosphorus (TP) content varied from 435-810 mg/kg (non-monsoon) and 258-699 mg/kg (monsoon). Inorganic P was dominant part. Different P fractions followed similar order (Fe-P > Ca-P > Al-P > Org-P > Ex-P) with respect to seasons. FeP was dominant fraction, indicating probable anthropogenic stress. Sediment may act as source of P as bioavailable P constituted 40-69.2 % of TP. Molar ratio of OC to Org-P in sediment indicated terrestrial sources of organic matter. However, the estimated phosphorus pollution index were lower than one except a few cases indicating less ecological risk with respect to sedimentary TP load.

Abstract
This study has been carried out to understand the geochemistry of elements namely, iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) in the core sediments of an urbanized tropical mangrove ecosystem along the Southwest coast of India. The study revealed the coupling of iron and phosphorus in which the reductive conditions induced reductive dissolution and upward transport of Fe, causing surface coprecipitation of phosphorus incorporated Fe oxyhydroxides. The accumulation and transformation of phosphorus were significantly influenced by processes viz., phosphorus regeneration due to organic matter mineralization and adsorption to inorganic iron oxides/Ca bound minerals in the surface sediments, and phosphorus retention in the sedimentary column by transformation into refractory organic phosphates. Bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) accounted for more than 50% of TP, so that the mangrove sediments act as an important internal nutrient source of iron and phosphorus for coastal eutrophication.

Abstract
Eutrophication level in lakes and reservoirs depends on both internal and external phosphorus (P) load. Characterization of sediment P fractionation and identifying the P pollution sources are important for assessing the bio-availability of P and the dominant P source, for effectively controlling the water pollution. For determining the availability and sources of sediment P and eutrophication status, spatio-temporal variation in different P fractionation of sediment of hyper-eutrophic Krishnagiri reservoir, Tamil Nadu, India, was investigated. Sediment average total P (TP) content ranged from 4.62 to 5.64 g/kg. Main phosphorus form was the inorganic P (IP), and it makes up to 73.4-87.7% of TP. Among the different P fraction, viz. calcium bound (Ca-P), iron bound (Fe-P), aluminium bound (Al-P), exchangeable (Ex-P) and Organic-P (Org-P), Ca-P was the dominating fraction in both IP and TP. Trend of IP fraction was as follows: Ca-P > Fe-P > Al-P > Ex-P in pre-monsoon season, Fe-P > Ca-P > Al-P > Ex-P in monsoon and Ca-P > Al-P > Fe-P > Ex-P in post-monsoon. Overall the trend was as follows Ca-P > Fe-P > Al-P > Org-P > Ex-P. Bio-available-P (BAP) fractions ranged from 35.2 to 64.0% of TP, indicating its comparative higher value. Pearson's correlation matrix revealed that there was strong correlation among the different P fractions. Factor analysis indicates that different fractions of P were the dominating factor than the other sediment parameters. The observed variation in sediment P fractionation indicate the differences in source and characterization of P which is very helpful for implementation of effective management practices in controlling pollution that arises due to phosphorus in this hyper-eutrophic reservoir.

Abstract
This investigation aimed to determine the contents of biogenic SiO2 and different phosphorus forms (P) and to evaluate phosphorus ecological risk in surface sediment of Anzali wetland. According to the results, biogenic SiO2 ranged from 0.29 to 3.04%. Also, the average biogenic SiO2 at all studied stations was 1.36 ± 0.83%. Results indicated that total P (TP) was between 493 and 771 ppm, averaged 637.20 ± 79.41 ppm. Moreover, inorganic P (INTP) ranged from 256.63 to 376.89 ppm and composed 51.46 ± 4.68% of total P. The percentage of P-forms was in descending order: residual-P > Fe-P > Ca-P > Al-P > labile-P. Phosphorus pollution index (PPI) ranged from 0.82 to 1.29, with an average of 1.06 in the sediment of the Anzali wetland. The Sediment P saturation (SPS) values varied considerably from 40.96 to 83.57, with an average SPS value of 49.1. Based on the eutrophication risk index, all stations except one had a low eutrophication risk index.

Abstract
Eutrophication and algal blooms occur frequently in coastal waters of the Makran, for which phosphorus is an important driving factor. Therefore, in this study, sequential extraction procedure was used to evaluate abundance of five phosphorus chemical species. Total phosphorus (TP) concentration ranged from 672.3 to 2031.9 μg/g in pre-monsoon and 771.7 to 2095.7 μg/g in post-monsoon. More than 87% of TP was inorganic P and contribution of organic phosphorus was low. Potential bioavailable P (PBAP) comprised of 52.1 and 35.5% of TP in the pre and post-monsoon, respectively. Average phosphorus pollution index was higher than one in all stations and seasons, implying that sediments in the study area are polluted by phosphorus and are under eutrophication risk. Thus, in the future, foregoing information will be important for assessment of phosphorus loading and pollution in the Makran.

Abstract
Surface sediment samples were collected from Daya Bay in October 2018, and analyzed for total organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN) and their stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N), total phosphorus (TP), biogenic silica (BSi), sediment textures and specific surface area (SSA). The primary objective was to evaluate the influence of mariculture/aquaculture on the distribution characteristics of organic matter (OM), and preservation status of OC, TN, TP, and BSi in sediments. The average δ13C and δ15N values, and OC/TN ratios were -21.27‰, 6.74‰, and 8.90, respectively. Monte Carlo simulation results revealed that mariculture/aquaculture biodeposits accounted for >40% of the buried OM at sites where the breeding rafts and cages are located, whereas marine OM increased gradually to the open sea. Terrestrial OM was generally low accounting for 17% by average. The contents and distribution characteristics of biogenic elements were more influenced by mariculture/aquaculture and primary productivity than sediment textures. Lower OC/SSA (0.3-1.2 mg OC/m2), TN/SSA (~0.05-0.18 mg TN/m2), and TP/SSA (0.02-0.04 mg TP/m2) loadings indicated that increased sequestration of labile OM in a coastal bay could contribute to significant degradation of recalcitrant OM in sediments with significant loss of P relative to OC. Nitrogen contamination in surface sediments was due to increased injection of aquaculture biodeposits, and may pose a detrimental effect on the ecological sustainability of the bay. Higher BSi/SSA loadings (0.9-1.7 mg BSi/m2) revealed that BSi was more preserved, and that BSi-based proxy could be used for paleo-productivity studies. However, such preservation may induce adverse dissolved silicate limitation in a bay perturbed by eutrophication. Fine-grained sediments (clay and silt) accounted for >77% of the sediment texture types with higher SSA, and while controlling the contents of biogenic elements under given depositional conditions were not the main determining factors of OC, TN, TP, and BSi preservation.

Abstract
Bulk sedimentary phosphorus (P) is studied to evaluate its source, distribution, preservation and enrichment in relation with organic carbon (OC), sediment textures and moisture contents in the northern Beibu Gulf. Approximately 80% of surface sediments in the investigated sites were composed of coarse sandy texture (>63 μm). Total P (TP), inorganic P (IP) and organic P (OP) contents were lower to medium range compared to the levels reported for other marginal seas. Sedimentary OC and P were derived from mixed sources, with high terrestrial influence in the coastal areas (molar OC/OP ratios >250:1). The distribution of P corroborated with the variation tendency of fine-grained sediments, moisture contents and OC. Both IP and OP may significantly influence the trophic state of seawater if released from surface sediments. Influenced by hydrodynamics, frequent resuspension and high abundance of sand, TP is less preserved, and shows low to moderate enrichment in surface sediments.

Abstract
The environmental characteristics of colloidal toxic trace metals Cd, Cu and Pb in riverine and estuarine waters collected from two urban rivers of Yantai City in eastern China, the Guangdang and Xin'an Rivers, were investigated using a modified centrifugal ultrafiltration (CUF) method in conjunction with acid extraction and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The target metals in dissolved pool were divided into four CUF fractions, i.e. <1 kDa, 1-3 kDa, 3-10 kDa and 10 kDa-0.2 μm, and the results showed that colloidal Cd, Cu and Pb were dominated by 1-10 kDa (1-3 and 3-10 kDa), 1-3 kDa and 10 kDa-0.2 μm fractions, respectively. The coagulation/flocculation of low-molecular-weight (1-10 kDa) colloidal Cd and Cu in the estuaries was obvious and strong, while the enrichment of dissolved Pb in the 10 kDa-0.2 μm fraction may be mainly related to its biogeochemical interactions with Fe-oxides, which is easy to occur in macromolecular colloids. In addition, the actual molecular weight cutoffs (MWCOs) of the three used CUF units with nominal MWCOs of 1, 3 and 10 kDa were determined to be 4.9, 8.5 and 33.9 kDa, respectively, indicating that membrane calibration is essential for explaining the actual fraction of dissolved trace metals and verifying the integrity of ultrafiltration membrane. Overall, the results in this study provide a further understanding of the heterogeneity in biogeochemical features, migration and fate of toxic trace metals in aquatic ecosystems, especially that of the river-sea mixing zone.

JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2020; 2020:8548126.

Abstract
Sedimentary phosphorus (P) forms are important representatives of P sources and their bioavailability as well as the potential of sediments to release P in water. In this study, surface sediments along a transect of the Changjiang Estuary and two transects along the Andong salt marsh in the southwest of Hangzhou Bay were subjected to the elucidation of sedimentary P species using the standards, measurements, and testing (SMT) and sequential extraction (SEDEX) methods. The results showed that the mean sedimentary P forms elucidated by the SMT method were as follows: organic P (OP; ∼11-14 mg/kg; ∼30-45% of total P; TP) > apatite P (∼5-15 mg/kg; ∼21-36% TP) > Fe/Al-P (∼8-14 mg/kg; ∼31-34% TP), with inorganic P (IP) composing 54-70% of TP. The mean sedimentary P forms elucidated by the SEDEX method were as follows: authigenic P (∼54-68 mg/kg; ∼41-46% TP) > extractable P (Ex-P; ∼36-53 mg/kg; ∼28-34%) > Fe-P (∼21-27 mg/kg; ∼13-19%) > OP (∼8.7-13 mg/kg; ∼5-8%) > detrital P (De-P; ∼2 mg/kg; ∼1-2% TP), with IP composed of ∼91-94% TP. These results showed that the SEDEX method elucidated higher concentrations of sedimentary P forms as well as the TP from these coastal sediments although the SMT method had the advantage of being more economic and faster. The results of both the SMT and SEDEX methods showed that the Andong salt marsh and Changjiang Estuary sediments had much bioavailable P. The mean percentages of bioavailable P from the SMT and SEDEX methods were ∼64-74% and 52-56% of TP, respectively, indicating that these sediments were prone to release P to the coastal areas.
