| Definition: |
Phosphorus in natural waters is divided into three component parts: soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), soluble unreactive or soluble organic phosphorus (SUP) and particulate phosphorus (PP) (Rigler 1973). The sum of SRP and SUP is called soluble phosphorus (SP), and the sum of all phosphorus components is termed total phosphorus (TP). Soluble and particulate phosphorus are differentiated by whether or not they pass through a 0.45 micron membrane filter. |
