Description
Summary:This study is focused on modeling the dynamic behaviour of reactive phosphorus in aquatic sediments with special application to a tropical reservoir in Singapore. Six interrelated models, individually describing organic, exchangeable particulate and dissolved phosphorus in sediments, have been developed in this thesis. The models concentrate on the active top layer of a 10 cm depth on the sediment-water interface, which consists of aerobic and anaerobic layers.
