| Description | Eutrophication is a major water quality issue that often leads to harmful cyanobacteria blooms. These blooms are further aggravated by climate change. To counteract eutrophication nuisance, water managers are using more and more so-called solid-phase P-adsorbents. However, their potential effect on GHG emissions via possible P limitation on the microbial community is less clear. You will apply the P binders Phoslock and Aqual-P to cylinders that contain sediment, to test GHG emission under normal temperatures and during a simulated heatwave event. |
