Description 130-136
Distribution of phosphorus in 144 clay fractions of the sediments from fresh water river channel, estuarine, tidal channel, mangrove, swampy and marine environments of the Coleroon River, major distributary of Cauvery, Karnataka, India, has been presented. Marine zone has the highest phosphorus concentration (av. 0.223%) and the river channel has the lowest (av. 0.152%). Studies on interrelationships between phosphorus and organic matter, iron and calcium reveal that phosphorus is fixed mainly as organic phosphate and ferricphosphate in the deltaic sediments of the Cauvery River. Phosphorus contribution from this river to Bay of Bengal is significant.
