    Notes: Abstract Two surfaces soils with contrasting physical and chemical characteristics were placed in model ponds to provide a sediment phosphate (P) source. Water samples were obtained weekly or biweekly and analyzed for total, total soluble, and soluble reactive P. Fertilizer P additions which exceeded sediment P absorption capacity occasionally tended to produce significantly higher P concentrations. Smaller P additions had no influence on pond P concentrations and no relationship between pond P concentrations and sediment EPC values was found. Soluble reactive P concentrations in most of the ponds were similar and seldom 〉 5 µg/1. Two mechanisms significantly affected P transport from the sediments. The first were macrophytic plants which provided a large P sink in the water column. The second was fixation of readily soluble P within the sediments. Plant growth within the ponds used 〈 5% of the readily soluble P initially present. Diffusion of P from the sediments did not support large SRP concentrations within the ponds.

    Notes: Abstract We chose two surface soils with contrasting textures as model sediments for a model pond study. One soil, a calcareous clay, had a relatively high natural phosphate content and a large phosphate adsorption capacity. The second soil, a non calcareous loam, had a relatively low natural phosphate content and a small phosphate adsorption capacity. Chemical characteristics of both soils were roughly proportional to mineral surface area. Pasture sites of each soil were tilled to a depth of 15 cm and two plots at each site were fertilized by hand with triple superphosphate. A third plot at each site was left unfertilized. After fertilization the plots were mechanically mixed and left fallow for 2 to 3 months. Then the plots were resampled and equilibration phosphate concentrations were determined again. Results showed significant phosphate fixation by the clay soil but no fixation by the loam soil.
