Abstract
Comparative studies on the exchange processes of phosphorus over the sediment-interface in marine and freshwater environments are reported. The study is based on laboratory experiments with sediment cores collected at three soft bottom stations; two brackish-marine and one freshwater. One of the marine stations was reduced and azoic, whereas the freshwater and the other marine station had well oxygenated conditions in the bottom waters. Positive redox-turnovers, including anaerobic incubation followed by reaeration, were generated in the cores and the supernatant water.
