Can adsorption processes regulate phosphate dynamics in an estuary ?
Phosphate in the turbid estuary of the river Ems (Eems - Dollardestuarium) shows a non-conservative concentration gradient with high summer values in the middle reaches. These gradients can not be explained by biological processes or local discharges. The author postulates that this phosphate distribution is caused mainly by phosphate desorption from dissolving calcite at decreasing pH.
