Study quantifies effect of'legacy phosphorus' in reduced water quality
For decades, phosphorus has accumulated in Wisconsin soils. Though farmers have taken steps to reduce the quantity of the agricultural nutrient applied to and running off their fields, a new study reveals that a ' legacy ' of abundant soil phosphorus in the Yahara watershed of Southern Wisconsin has a large, direct and long-lasting impact on water quality.

UD's Jaisi wins NSF Career Award for research on phosphorus in soil
(University of Delaware) Much like criminal forensic scientists use fingerprints to identify guilty parties at crime scenes, the University of Delaware's Deb Jaisi utilizes isotopic fingerprinting technology to locate the sources of phosphorus compounds and studies the degraded products they leave behind in soil and water. Jaisi has now received a prestigious National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award to further his source tracking research, looking specifically at phytate, the most common organic phosphorus in soils.

Cleaning up decades of phosphorus pollution in lakes
Phosphorus is the biggest cause of water quality degradation worldwide, causing 'dead zones', toxic algal blooms, a loss of biodiversity and increased health risks for the plants, animals and humans that come in contact with polluted waters. This threatens the loss of economic and social benefits from freshwaters upon which society relies. Scientists are now assessing how geo-engineering in lakes can control phosphorus pollution.

Calcium and Phosphorus and the Preterm Infant
The early hypocalcemia observed in preterm infants is common. An increasing degree of asymptomatic hypocalcemia is observed with decreasing gestational age. Treatment is controversial and evidence of benefit is lacking. The intakes of calcium and phosphorus for the preterm infant to achieve adequate bone growth and mineralization are based on the amount acquired by the human fetus during the last trimester of pregnancy. Though normal bone mineralization is difficult to achieve, it is possible to prevent osteopenia/rickets in the preterm infant by maximizing intakes of calcium and phosphorus.

Greenland ice sheet releasing 'Mississippi River' worth of phosphorus
Not only is Greenland's melting ice sheet adding huge amounts of water to the oceans, it could also be unleashing 400,000 metric tons of phosphorus every year -- as much as the mighty Mississippi River releases into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a new study. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient that feeds plankton at the base of the ocean food web. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Scientists gather in DC to tackle phosphorus sustainability issues
(Arizona State University) Researchers from Arizona State University and 40 other scientists, engineers, technical experts and policy makers from around the world, are convening in Washington, D.C. May 18-21 to study ways to create a sustainable phosphorus (P) fertilizer system.The use of phosphorus, a key component of fertilizers, is increasing around the world. The runoff of phosphorus from farms and cities is creating algal blooms, which often lead to 'dead zones' in rivers, lakes and coastal oceans. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)
