Opis

This Workshop was organized to assess the status of knowledge on the behaviour of phosphorus in sediments and to define gaps and reassess research strategies, particularly with respect to prevalent methodology and future approach; and to define gaps and reassess research strategies for water management measures in aquatic ecosystems, especially in relation to the release of phosphorus from the sediments and its impact on the functioning of the whole system.

Session I: Chemical Transformations of Phosphorus in Sediments, particularly with respect to Exchange Processes and Permanent Fixation. Session II: The Role of Microorganisms in Sediment Phosphorus Dynamics in Relation to Mobilization and Fixation of Phosphorus. Session III: Sediment--Water Dynamics with Special Attention for Functional Models Describing Fluxes of Phosphorus across the Sediment--Water Interface. Session IV: Water Management Measures focused on the Regulation of the Release of Phosphorus from the Sediment, in Relation to the Functioning and Restoration of the Whole Ecosystem.
