Abstract

Phosphorus (P) is a key biogeochemical element supporting phytoplankton growth and fish production in estuaries and on continental shelves. This chapter reviews the role of rivers as the ultimate source of P in the marine realm, of burial in sediments as the major sink, and of recycling of P in coastal systems. The impact of human activities and climate change in modulating P dynamics in coastal environments and its global scale significance are also discussed.
