Phosphorus
Adding phosphorus to soil can help grow plants – but too much in our water contributes to algal blooms. These resources can improve your understanding of how phosphorus moves from land to water, and help you find effective ways to minimise phosphorus loss.

Transforming phosphorus use on the island of Ireland: A model for a sustainable system
Phosphorus is an essential part of the world food web and a non-substitutable nutrient in all biological systems. A key global challenge is to meet…

Direct exports of phosphorus from fertilizers applied to grazed pastures in Australasia
The 4R concept was developed to help mitigate P exports. This review investigates the factors affecting P exports soon after the application of mineral fertilizers…

The potential for potassium chloride fertiliser applications to leach cadmium from a grazed pasture soil
Cadmium (Cd) is a biotoxic element that can enter the human food chain via plants grown in Cd-enriched soil. Chloride (Cl) can solubilise Cd in…

The mitigation of phosphorus losses from a water repellent soil used for grazed dairy farming
Soil water repellency (SWR) decreases the infiltration rate of soil, increasing the potential for surface runoff in response to rainfall (Bauters et al., 2000). The…

The ability to reduce soil legacy phosphorus at a country scale
The build-up of soil phosphorus (P) beyond plant requirements can lead to a long-term legacy of P losses that could impair surface water quality. Using…

Development of a national-scale framework to characterise transfers of N, P and Escherichia coli from land to water
A hydrological framework encompassing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and microbial (E. coli) transfer from land to water was developed to provide a consistent and rapid…

Global mapping of freshwater nutrient enrichment and periphyton growth potential
Periphyton (algal) growth in many freshwater systems is associated with severe eutrophication that can impair productive and recreational use of water by billions of people.…

Dynamics of phosphorus exchange between sediment and water in a gravel-bed river
Phosphorus (P) stores in gravel-bed rivers are released for uptake by periphyton when pH levels exceed 8.5. The Tukituki River has low alkalinity water and…

Changes in soil cadmium concentrations with time following cessation of phosphorus fertilizer inputs
Cadmium (Cd) can accumulate in soil from the application of phosphorus fertilizer. However, there is little information on what happens to soil Cd concentrations when…
Journal Article
Total soil cadmium concentrations in the Winchmore long-term phosphorus fertiliser trial are still increasing
Reliable data on the rate of cadmium (Cd) accumulation in soils that receive phosphorus (P) fertiliser is vital to help manage the impact of Cd…
