Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input
has long been recognized as necessary to maintain profitable crop
production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the
biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the
destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of
surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries,
recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of
undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by
their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a
good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from
soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed.
This book has been developed from an international workshop held in
Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration
of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have
contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists
and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists,
ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land
management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries
managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water
utilities.
