Studies of marine phosphorus biodynamics using cosmogenic 32P as a radio-tracer necessitated the determination of its specific activities C3\*P/P ratios) in the dissolved inorganic (DIP) and organic phosphorus (DOP) pools. Owing to the low atmospheric injection rate of 32P atoms (ca. 6 X lo-' atoms
The choice of model compounds for checking the recovery of dissolved organic and total dissolved phosphorus in natural waters is discussed. Ten compounds were compared for their recovery in fresh and seawater. Four different oxidative procedures were used: acidic and alkaline persulfate oxidation, c
Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient that is essential for all organisms and may limit growth on both modern and geologic timescales. The major removal mechanism of P from marine systems is via the transformation of dissolved P into sinking particulate P pools. Although most particulate P is remineral
