Volume 2 (2007): Article 7The influence of degree of peat decomposition on phosphorus binding forms in fens.by S. Jordan, S. Velty and J. Zeitz This article is dedicated to the memory of our very good friend and colleague, Published online: 14.10.2007 Summary Re-wetting of drained fens can release phosphorus, introducing a eutrophication risk for associated aquatic ecosystems. Characterisation of the different forms of organic and inorganic bound phosphorus in the peat is an important step towards the development of tools for assessing the level of risk attached to individual rewetting projects. In the work reported here, a sequential extraction (fractionation) method was used to distinguish the following P binding forms: CitationJordan, S., Velty, S. & Zeitz, J.
