SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS LOADS ALONG A SMALL MEDITERRANEAN RIVER : IMPLICATION OF BED SEDIMENTS

GIMBERT F. / PERRIN J. L. / TOURNOUD M. G. / et al. - ARTICLE DE PERIODIQUE - 2005

Downstream trends in nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in water and in sediment along the River Vène Assessment of the role of exchange between the water column and bed sediments in the spatial evolution of nitrogen and phosphorus loads The role of point-source inputs and the decrease in nutrient loads are highlighted, specially for the catchment of phosphorus by sediments.
