Benthic phosphorus cycling in the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone

Benthic phosphorus cycling in the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) that impinge on continental margins favor the release of phosphorus (P) from the sediments to the water column, enhancing primary productivity and the maintenance or expansion of low-oxygen waters. A comprehensive field program in the Peruvian OMZ was undertaken to identi...
