Document Summary
Terrestrial phosphorus exchange: only one that doesn"t change (cid:1) (cid:1) valence states for practice purposes (in env does everything by absorption or external covalent bonds) (cid:1) mountains, it is on a one way trip to the ocean. It only gets put back to the environment after being buried for thousands of years and through the process of tectonic plate movement. Does not have a gas vapor stage so once it starts out of the. Soil systems: incorporation of phosphorus into terrestrial biomass and its return to the soil system through decomposition. Rivers: exchange reactions between groundwater and soil particles. Estuaries: transport through estuaries to the oceans of both particulate and dissolved p. Red tides - algal blooms off of naples: aerosols blown in off the (cid:1) water were irritating. With these phosphate mines and quarries (in the 1905s, there was not a lot of regulation), and not much treatment, they would run off the numerous rivers and into the ocean.
